4 ) A 3 0 0 -kN for ce is applied at point E of the r od
assembly and is applied in a dir ection that is par allel to the x-axis. The suppor t at A is a balland-socket joint. The suppor t at D is a smooth
jour nal bear ing for which the couple moment
r eactions shall be neglected. Suppor t r od BC is
par allel to the x-axis and should be tr eated as a
two-for ce member .
SET UP (BUT DO NOT SOLVE) the equilibr ium
equations to find all suppor t r eactions. W r ite
the moment equilibr ium equations so that m oments ar e summed about a set of axes passing
thr ough the or igin. (2 4 pts)
