Transcribed Image Text:**Problem 4.5** - Find the reactions at supports A and C. The weight of the rod is negligible.
**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram shows a structure with a rod supported at two points, A and C. The rod is inclined at an angle of 30° to the horizontal.
- **Support A:** A pin support that allows rotation and prevents movement in any direction.
- **Support C:** A roller support that allows horizontal movement and prevents vertical movement.
There's a vertical force of 400 lb acting downwards at point B. The distance between point A and point B is 4 feet, and the distance between point B and point C is 5 feet. The rod is considered to have negligible weight.
The goal is to determine the reactions at supports A and C due to the applied force.
