Question
The rectangular gate in Fig. B is hinged at B and rests on a smooth floor at A, the horizontal component of the reaction at A therefore being zero.
The gate is 5 ft wide perpendicular to the paper.
Determine the vertical component of the reaction at
A and the horizontal and vertical components of the reaction at for the following sets of conditions:
(a) r = 6 ft, y = 8 ft, z = 0 ft;
(b) x = 6 ft, y = 8 ft, z = 4 ft;
(c) x = y = 8 ft, z = 10 ft;
(d) x = 3 ft, y = 4 ft. z = 50 ft.
