Transcribed Image Text:**Problem 3/64**
One of the vertical walls supporting end \(B\) of the 200-kg uniform shaft of Sample Problem 3/5 is turned through a \(30^\circ\) angle as shown here. End \(A\) is still supported by the ball-and-socket connection in the horizontal \(x\)-\(y\) plane. Calculate the magnitudes of the forces \(P\) and \(R\) exerted on the ball end \(B\) of the shaft by the vertical walls \(C\) and \(D\), respectively.
---
**Explanation of the Diagram:**
The diagram represents a 3-dimensional view of the problem setup:
- There is an \(x\)-\(y\)-\(z\) coordinate system shown to provide a spatial reference.
- Two vertical walls, labeled \(C\) and \(D\), form a corner and support end \(B\) of the shaft.
- The shaft is uniform, has a total mass of 200 kg, and is shown by a brown rod.
- End \(A\) of the shaft is connected to the horizontal \(x\)-\(y\) plane at a ball-and-socket joint.
- The shaft makes a \(30^\circ\) angle with the \(y\)-axis on the \(x\)-\(y\) plane.
- Key dimensions:
- The length of the shaft: \(7\) meters.
- The distance from point \(A\) to the \(y\)-axis: \(2\) meters.
- The distance from point \(A\) along the \(x\)-axis to wall \(C\): \(6\) meters.
The problem requires determining the forces \(P\) and \(R\) exerted on the ball end \(B\) of the shaft by the vertical walls \(C\) and \(D\), respectively.
