Transcribed Image Text:**Problem Description:**
The rigid, T-shaped bar shown below is supported by a pin at \( A \) and a smooth surface at \( B \). A linear elastic spring connects at \( C \); its stretch and spring constant (\( k \)) are provided on the figure. The spring is elongated (stretched out), and the system is at equilibrium. Figure is not drawn to scale.
**Tasks:**
a) Sketch a complete Free Body Diagram (FBD) of the T-shaped bar appropriate for determining the support reactions.
b) Use your FBD to determine the support reaction(s) at points \( A \) and \( B \). Show all work.
**Figure Explanation:**
- **Diagram Elements:**
- The T-shaped bar is shown with a vertical and horizontal part.
- Point \( A \) is a pin support located at the top-left.
- Point \( B \) is a smooth surface contact on the far right.
- Point \( C \) is where the spring is connected to the horizontal part, located 10 inches down from the horizontal top.
- The spring is shown attached vertically below \( C \) with a spring constant \( k = 50 \, \text{lb/in} \) and a stretch of \( 0.25 \, \text{in} \).
- **Distances:**
- The horizontal distances \( A \) to \( C \) and \( C \) to \( B \) are both 6 inches.
- The vertical distance from the horizontal beam to point \( C \) is 10 inches.
- **Angles:**
- The horizontal angle from \( C \) to \( B \) is labeled with a right triangle, showing opposite as 3 and adjacent as 4, implying a trigonometrical relationship.
This setup is used for analyzing mechanical equilibrium in a structure supported with a spring and determining the reactions at the supports.
