The T-shaped bracket AECD is supported by a hinge at A, about the Y-axis as shown in Fig. 4 and the rope CB. The mass of the load hanging at D is 100 kg. The mass of the bracket itself is 35 Kg, which can be considered as concentrated at the centre of gravity, G. External loads Fc = 450 N and Fe = 170 N act at points C and E respectively in the directions as depicted in Fig. 4. Considering the bracket AECD as a rigid body in equilibrium under the action of all these forces, calculate the tension in the rope CB and the reactions at the support A. Please note that the bracket is free to rotate at A about the y-axis, but the other [7 Marks] motions are arrested. 05 m (2.-3, 2) Flg. 4 2 m 3 mi a= 20 O30
