Chapter 4.3, Problem 4.119P
PROBLEM 4.119
Solve Prob. 4.113, assuming that the hinge at A has been removed and that the hinge at B can exert couples about axes parallel to the x and y axes.
PROBLEM 4.113 A 10-kg storm window measuring 900 × 1500 mm is held by hinges at A and B. In the position shown, it is held away from the side of the house by a 600-mm stick CD. Assuming that the hinge at A does not exert any axial thrust, determine the magnitude of the force exerted by the stick and the components of the reactions at A and B.
