Question
**Problem 2-34:**  
Determine the horizontal and vertical components of force at the connections \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \). Assume each of these connections is a pin.

### Diagram Description:

The diagram illustrates a structural beam supported by three connections labeled \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \). Connection \( A \) is at the ground level on the left side, and \( C \) is attached to a vertical wall on the right side. The beam spans horizontally from \( A \) to \( C \) with \( B \) positioned between them.

- **Forces:** 
  - A distributed load of \( 400 \, \text{lb/ft} \) is applied vertically downward across the entire length of the beam to the left.
  - Point loads are applied on top of the beam:
    - \( 4 \, \text{kips (k)} \) acting downward at a distance of \( 4 \, \text{ft} \) from the left end.
    - \( 3 \, \text{kips (k)} \) acting downward at a distance of \( 6 \, \text{ft} \) from the left end.
    - Another \( 3 \, \text{kips (k)} \) acting downward at a distance of \( 3 \, \text{ft} \) from the right end.

- **Dimensions:**
  - The horizontal span between \( A \) and \( B \) is \( 4 \, \text{ft} \).
  - The horizontal span between \( B \) and \( C \) is \( 6 \, \text{ft} \).
  - The vertical distance from the ground (at \( A \)) to the horizontal beam is \( 12 \, \text{ft} \).

The objective is to find the horizontal and vertical forces at each pin connection (\( A \), \( B \), and \( C \)).
