The steel bar AB has a rectangular cross section. (Figure 1) Figure
If it is pin connected at its ends, determine the maximum allowable intensity w of the distributed load that can be applied to BC without causing bar AB to buckle. Use a factor of safety with respect to buckling of 1.9. Est=200GPa,σY=360MPa. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
