A rigid, uniform weightless, horizontal bar is connected to three vertical members P. Q and R as shown in the figure (not drawn to the scale). All three members have identical axial stiffness of 10 kN/mm. The lower ends of bars P and R rest on a rigid horizontal surface.

In this structure, it has three beams 1,2,3 of length 3L. Beams 1,2,3 have a cross section area A, A, and 3A respectively. Beams 1 and 2 have a Young's modulus 3E, while beam 3 has a Young's modulus 2E. The beams are attached to some roller supports on the left and right (ignore the size of the supports). In the middle, the beams are attached to a rigid beam, which always stays perfectly vertical, and its width and mechanical property is neglected (serving only as a joint). The system is initially free of any stress. A distributed load of wintesity w0 is then applied (over a distance L) on the middle rigid beam. Calculate the normal stress in each member in terms of given variables.
