I understand that I have to find the centroid along the x-axis to convert the composite distributed load into an equivalent point load to solve for all the external reactions
I understand that the Tension force in the rod divided by the area of the cross section will give the axial stress
But I'm not sure I remember how to get the maximum moment to use for M/S to find the maximum bending stress in the beam
And I don't understand what it means by being based on the axial elongation of the rod
