ANSWER:
Solution 53P
Step 1:
In this problem, we have to find out the vertical and horizontal components of force acting on the bar of the hinge at B.
So, we can draw a diagram which describes the forces acting on point B.
So, we can tell that, the horizontal component is zero since, the horizontal component F(H) and -F(H) will cancel each other on the wall.
