Question:
Two pots of food are being cooked on a solar cooker (Figure P4.32). The smaller pot weighs 4 lb, and the larger pot weighs 9 lb. Also, due to the thermal expansion of the parabolic reflector, a horizontal force of 0.5 lb is exerted outward on the two supports. Determine the magnitude of the resultant force at the two supports, A and B and the angle of each resultant force relative to horizontal.
