One of the smooth vertical walls supporting end
B
of the 200 -kg uniform shaft is turned through a
24\deg
angle as shown here. End A is supported by the ball-and-socket connection in the horizontal
x
-y plane. Calculate the magnitudes of the forces
P
and
R
exerted on the ball end
B
of the shaft by the vertical walls
C
and
D
, respectively. Assume
a=7.0m,b=1.9m,L=7.9m
, and
\theta =24\deg
. Answers:
P=
i N
R=
