Question
The diagram, labeled as "Fig-3," illustrates a structural setup involving two rods and a ceiling connection. 

- Rod \( AB \) is vertically aligned and pivots at point \( A \), attached to the ceiling. It is divided into two segments with lengths \( a \) and \( b \). 
- Point \( B \) represents the junction between rods \( AB \) and \( BC \).
- Rod \( BC \) extends vertically downward from point \( B \) to point \( C \).
- A perpendicular force, \( F_1 \), is applied at point \( C \) pointing downward.
- Rod \( AD \) is diagonal, connecting the ceiling at point \( D \) to point \( A \), horizontally spaced by a length \( c \).
- Points \( A \) and \( D \) are fixed to the ceiling, with a horizontal separation defined by length \( c \).

This setup is typically analyzed in contexts involving static equilibrium, force distribution, and mechanical advantage.

Consider the bracket shown in Fig-3. If:

- \( F_1 = 10 \, \text{lb} \, @ \, -90^\circ \)
- \( a = 2 \, \text{ft} \)
- \( b = 4 \, \text{ft} \)
- \( c = 1 \, \text{ft} \)

Then, what is the magnitude of the **horizontal reaction** at point 'A'?

- ○ \( 0 \, \text{lb} \)
- ○ \( 10 \, \text{lb} \)
- ○ \( 14.2 \, \text{lb} \)
- ○ \( 20 \, \text{lb} \)
- ○ \( 26.4 \, \text{lb} \)
- ○ \( 30 \, \text{lb} \)
- ○ \( 32.3 \, \text{lb} \)
- ○ \( 40 \, \text{lb} \)
- ○ \( 45 \, \text{lb} \)
- ○ \( 50 \, \text{lb} \)
- ○ \( 54.1 \, \text{lb} \)
- ○ \( 60 \, \text{lb} \)
- ○ \( 67.1 \, \text{lb} \)
- ○ \( 70 \, \text{lb} \)
- ○ \( 72.7 \, \text{lb} \)
