Question
**Title: Analysis of Forces in a Frame Structure**

**Text:**
For the frame shown below, Member \( BC \) is in __________

**Diagram Description:**
The diagram illustrates a structural frame fixed to a vertical wall consisting of the following components:

- **Points and Members:**
  - Point \( A \) is at the bottom left, connected to the wall with a joint.
  - Member \( AC \) is vertical and has a length of 0.6 m.
  - Point \( B \) is at the end of Member \( BC \), which is horizontal and has a length of 1.2 m.
  - Member \( CD \) extends diagonally from point \( C \) to \( D \), which is 0.1 m horizontally beyond point \( B \).
  - A pulley is located at Point \( D \) and supports a vertical rope.

- **Dimensions:**
  - A vertical distance of 0.3 m separates points \( A \) and \( C \).
  - The total horizontal distance from the wall to point \( D \) is 1.3 m.

- **Load:**
  - A weight of 50 kg is hanging vertically from the pulley at point \( D \).

**Question:**
Determine the state of Member \( BC \):
- Can't Decide
- NONE
- Tension
- Compression

**Answer Choices Explanation:**
- **Can't Decide**: Insufficient information to determine the state of stress.
- **NONE**: Member \( BC \) is not experiencing tension or compression.
- **Tension**: Member \( BC \) is being pulled and is under tensile stress.
- **Compression**: Member \( BC \) is being pushed and is under compressive stress.
