An 8 m simply supported beam supports a uniformly distributed load of w and a 3kN concentrated load located at midspan. The beam's cross section is found to be an inverted triangle with base of 350mm and a height of 400 mm. If the allowable stresses are 90MPa, 30MPa and 2MPa for FbT, Fbc, and Fv respectively, solve for the value of w.
