Question
Find the x and y components of the forces on B and C.

Transcribed Image Text:The image illustrates a structural diagram with components labeled as A, B, C, D, and E. It depicts two inclined members AC and CE joined at point C, forming an inverted V shape. A horizontal member, BE, connects points B and D under the inclined member AC. The inclined member CE is pinned at point E.
A force \( P \) is acting downward at point B along the vertical axis. Points A and E are both denoted as pinned (hinged) supports, although this is not explicitly shown in the diagram.
The diagram includes the following labeled distances:
- The horizontal spacing between each point along line AE is labeled as \( d \).
- The vertical height between points C and D, as well as E, is labeled as \( h \).
The numerical values provided are:
- \( P = 650 \, \text{N} \)
- \( d = 0.20 \, \text{m} \)
- \( h = 0.35 \, \text{m} \)
For component directions, the figure specifies using \( x \) as positive to the right and \( y \) as positive upward.
**Note:** The figure is not drawn to scale.
