**Determining Support Reactions**

**Text:**
Determine the support reactions at A and C for the following. The support at A is a thrust bearing. The reactions must be shown on a free body diagram for full credit.

**Diagram Description:**

- The diagram shows a bent rod supported at two points: A and C. 
- Point A has a thrust bearing, which allows rotation but provides thrust forces.
- The rod is bent with a 9 ft length from A to D and a 3 ft segment from D to B. A lateral extension of 2 ft is depicted from B to C.
- A force of \( F = 120 \, \text{lbs} \) is applied downward at point B in the negative z-direction.
- The diagram is labeled with three axes: x, y, and z, indicating the three-dimensional layout.

**Support Reactions Table:**

- \( A_x = A_y = 0 \, \text{lbs} \)
- \( A_z = 481 \, \text{lbs} \)
- \( T = 72 \, \text{lbs} \)
- \( M_{ax} = 432 \, \text{ft-lb} \)
- \( M_{az} = 0 \, \text{ft-lbs} \)

This setup and calculated reactions provide a clear understanding of how external forces and moments are resisted by the supports at A and C, ensuring equilibrium of the system.
