The pillar crane is subjected to the load having a mass M. Determine the force developed in the tie rod AB and the horizontal and vertical reactions at the pin support C when the boom is tied in the position shown.

Units Used:

kN = 103 N

Given:

M = 500 kg

a = 1.8 m

b = 2.4 m

θ1 = 10 deg

θ2 = 20 deg

g = 9.81m/s2
