A bent pipe is attached to a wall with brackets as shown. A force of F = 170 lb is applied to the end of the tube with direction indicated by the dimensions in the figure. Determine the support reactions at the brackets B, C, and D. Model these brackets as journal bearings (only force reactions perpendicular to the axis of the tube) and neglect couple moment reactions. Assume the distance between the supports at B and C and the tube bends nearby are negligible such that the support at C is directly above the support at D and the dimension g gives the distance between supports B and C. Enter your answers in Cartesian components.

Force between A and B: 200lb Angle on D: 35 deg Angle on C: 50 deg

The bent rod is supported by a ball-and-socket joint at B and the cables attached to points A and C as shown in the figure. The cable at C is in z-direction. The rod is subjected to two forces, F applied at C and P applied at D. Force P is along line AD. Determine the tensions in the two cables, the magnitude of force P, and the components of the support reaction at B. 100 F = {-20i+30j} N 400 300 Dimensions in mm
