The distributed load given can be simplified as in the diagram below with the resultants R1 and R2.

The resultants are:


1
R1 = ( 6 ft )( 30 lb/ft ) = 180 lb, and R2 = ( 4.5 ft )(120 lb/ft ) = 270 lb

Now, for equilibrium:

Chapter 5, Solution 133.

First note that for equilibrium, the center of gravity of the wire must lie
on a vertical line through C. Further, because the wire is homogeneous,
its center of gravity will coincide with the centroid of the corresponding
line.
Thus ΣM C = 0, which implies that x = 0
