The pipe assembly supports the vertical loads shown. Determine the components of reaction at the ball-and-socket joint A and the tension in the supporting cables BC and BD.

Units Used:

kN = 103 N

Given:

F1 = 3kN d = 2 m

F2 = 4kN e = 1.5 m

a = 1 m g = 1 m

b = 1.5 m h = 3 m

c = 3 m i = 2 m

f = c − e j = 2m
