NEED ANSWER ASAP!!

A so-called "trapeze bar" in a hospital room provides a means for patients to exercise while in bed (see figure). The bar is 2.1m long and has a cross section in the shape of a regular octagon. The design load is 1.6kN applied at the midpoint of the bar, and the allowable bending stress is 240 MPa.

 

Determine the minimum height h of the bar. Round to one decimal place. (Assume that the ends of the bar are simply supported and that the weight of the bar is negligible.)

 

hmin=___mm
