Frames: Problem Solving I

Consider a jib crane with an external load suspended from the pulley. The dimensions of the crane members are shown in the figure. A systematic analysis of the frame structure is required to determine the reaction forces at the pin joints, assuming that the pulleys are frictionless.

Consider a jib crane with an external load from the pulley.

If the dimensions of the crane members are known, what are the reaction forces at the pin joints, considering that the pulleys are frictionless?

The system is a frame structure, consisting of a two-force member BD and a multi-force member ABC.
