One of the smooth vertical walls supporting end B of the 145-kg uniform shaft is turned through a 27° 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.
