QUESTION:
The smooth uniform rod AB is supported by a balland-socket joint at A, the wall at B, and cable BC. Determine the components of reaction at A, the tension in the cable, and the normal reaction at B if the rod has a mass of 20 kg.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 7
The coordinates of points A, B and G are , , and
Next find the expression for the tension in the cable $$ T_{B C}$$
Next find the expression for the reaction force at B.
Next find the force vector of the weight
Next find the position vectors
