Transcribed Image Text:**Problem Statement:**
In the frame shown below, what is the horizontal reaction force component at A? (**Note:** Enter your numeric answer only. No need to enter units. Give your answer to two decimal places) and negative for left.
Horizontal force component at A, Ax = _______ N
**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram shows a two-segment frame structure.
- The frame has an inclined segment AB and a horizontal segment BC.
- Segment AB is 3 meters long and inclined at an angle of 60 degrees with the horizontal at point A.
- Segment BC is horizontal, with B to C measuring 4 meters in total (2 meters from B to the center of the applied force and another 2 meters from there to C).
- There is a vertical downward force of 2000 N applied at the middle of the horizontal segment.
- The support conditions or connections at points A, B, and C are not explicitly described in the image, but it is implied that point A is fixed or pinned, and point C is a roller or hinge against a vertical wall.
