*25. A hitch-mounted bicycle rack is designed to carry up to four 135 N bikes mounted on and strapped to two arms
GH [see bike loads in the figure part (a)]. The rack is attached to the vehicle at A and is assumed to be like a cantilever
beam ABCDGH [figure part (b)]. The weight of fixed segment AB is W1 = 45 N, centered 9 in. from A [see the figure
part (b)] and the rest of the rack weighs W2
50 mm, of thickness t = 3 mm Segment BCDGH pivots about a bolt at B of diameter dg =6 mm to allow access to the
rear of the vehicle without removing the hitch rack. When in use, the rack is secured in an upright position by a pin at C
(diameter of pin d, = 8 mm) [see photo and figure part (c)]. The overturning effect of the bikes on the rack is resisted by
a force couple F hat BC.
(a) Find the support reactions at A for the fully loaded rack;
(b) Find forces in the bolt at B and the pin at C.
