Question

I need detailed help solving this exercise from homework of Applied Mechanics.
I do not really understand how to do, please do it step by step, not that long but clear. Thank you!

Problem 1
In Figure 1, the spring has an unstretched length of 0.2 m, and the uniform bars, AB and
BC, each have a mass of 30 kg. The mass of the members is not ignorable in both questions
below (assume gravity = 10 m/s² for this problem).
(a) Determine the angle 0 for equilibrium. Note that you cannot use the method of virtual
work for this problem.
(b) Determine the normal force, shear force and bending moment at point D.
