Forces A, B, C and D are acting on a horizontal bar which produces a resultant of 300 lb acting 4 ft from the left end of the bar. Force A has a magnitude of 100 lb acting downward at the left end of the bar and force D has a magnitude of 200 Ib acting upward at right end of the bar. If force B acting upward is 2 ft away from force A and force C acting downward is 2 ft away from force D, what are the magnitudes and positions of forces B and C if the total length of the bar is only 7 ft.

Forces A, B, C and D are acting on a horizontal bar which produces a resultant of 300 Ib acting 4 ft from the left
end of the bar. Force A has a magnitude of 100 lb acting downward at the left end of the bar and force D has a
magnitude of 200 Ib acting upward at right end of the bar. If force B acting upward is 2 ft away from force A and
force C acting downward is 2 ft away from force D, what are the magnitudes and positions of forces B and C if
the total length of the bar is only 7 ft.
