Transcribed Image Text:### Problem Description
A mechanism supports a structural assembly involving a bar ABC and a cable DE. A turnbuckle T on cable DE is used to adjust the position of roller D to keep bar ABC level.
- **Bar ABC**:
- Supports a uniformly distributed load of 636 lb/ft across its entire length.
- Carries a concentrated load of 1,272 lb at its end point C.
- **Cable DE**:
- Attached to roller D which can move to maintain the level of bar ABC.
- Forms an angle of 60° with the horizontal.
### Dimensions
- The span between D and E is 10 ft, divided equally into two segments of 5 ft each.
### Tasks
Determine the following forces:
- Force at pin A, \( F_A \)
- Force at pin B, \( F_B \)
- Tension in cable DE, \( F_{DE} \)
Inputs required are the magnitudes of these forces in pounds (lb).
### Diagram Explanation
- A line diagram of the structure is shown with:
- A horizontal beam ABC supported at A and B.
- A vertical reaction at point B connecting to a slanted cable DE at a 60° angle from the horizontal.
- The beam carries a distributed load, indicated by arrows along its length, and a point load at the end C.
This problem involves analyzing a statically determinant structure to find the reaction forces and tension caused by these loads.
