Question

Two uniform light bars BD and DC are pinned together at D, where a cable is also attached as shown in the figure below


Two uniform light bars BD and DC are pinned together at D, where a cable is also attached as shown in the figure below. The bars are connected to the reference frame at B and C by smooth ball joints. The system supports the 300 lb force pulling at D in the negative x direction. Find the force in the cable, and the reactions at B and C. The bars are in the yz plane.
