Chapter 5 Problem 5-78

Question

The bent rod is supported at A, B, and C by smooth journal bearings. Compute the x, y, z components of reaction at the bearings if the rod is subjected to forces \(F_{1}\) = 300 lb and \(F_{2}\) = 250 lb. \(F_{1}\) lies in the y–z plane. The bearings are in proper alignment and exert only force reactions on the rod.

Solution

Step 1 of 9

Draw a free body diagram of the bend rod.

                               

Resolve the forces along -axis.
