The link is used to hold the rod in place. Determine the required axial force on the screw at E if the largest force to be exerted on the rod at B, C or D is to be Fmax. Also, find the magnitude of the force reaction at pin A. Assume all surfaces of contact is smooth.

Given:

Fmax = 100 lb

a = 100 mm

b = 80 mm

c = 50 mm

θ = 45 deg
