A rigid bar is suspended by three rods made of the same material. The area and length of the central rod are 3A and L, respectively while that of the two outer rods are 2A and 2L, respectively. If a downward force of 50 kN is applied to the rigid bar, what will be the forces in the central and each of the outer rods?
