The figure shows a beam B C supported by a rod A B. The beam is bolted to a pole at C and the rod is bolted to the pole at A. A uniform load of w kilo newton per meter acts on the beam over a length of 3.6 meters from point C. The length of the beam is 5 meters and point A is 3.5 meters below point C.

The structure supports a distributed load of w kN/m. The 16-mm diameter bolts at A, B, and C are each used in double shear connections. The cross-sectional area of axial member (1) is 3,080 mm2.

The limiting normal stress in axial member (1) is 50 MPa, and the limiting shear stress in the bolts is 280 MPa. If a minimum factor of safety of 2.0 is required for all components, determine the maximum allowable distributed load w that may be supported by the structure.
