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.

A ball and socket at A. Cable BD at B, and a smooth surface at C support rod ABC. The smooth surface that provides the support at C lies in the yz-plane. C(0,12,6) ft D(6,0,3) ft B(6,6,3) ft 124 lb BS (12,0,0) ft Determine the reaction components that the ball and socket exert on rod ABC, the tension in cable BD, and the force the smooth wall exerts on end of rod ABC: Note that cable BD does not pass...
A ball and socket at A, Cable BD at B, and a smooth surface at C support rod ABC. The smooth surface that provides the support at C lies in the yz-plane. Determine the reaction components that the ball and socket exert on rod ABC, the tension in cable BD, and the force the smooth wall exerts on end C of rod ABC. Note that cable BD does not pass through point O. (Indicate the direction with the sign of...
