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

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 F1 and F2. F1 lies in the y-z plane. The bearings are in proper alignment and exert only force reactions on the rod.


Given:

F1 = 300 lb d = 3 ft

F2 = 250 lbe = 5 ft

a = 1 ft α = 30 deg

b = 4 ft β = 45 deg

c = 2 ft θ = 45 deg



Ь F2
