Expert Solution

Step 1

Given data,

Important point:- If a point/joint /support, resisting any rotation motion or translation motion. Then in that particular point/joint/support have that particular reaction of rotation or translation.

In the given case, none of the supports resisting the rotation motion. So, summation of moments in all the supports will be zero.
The support D resisting all the translation motion.
So, reaction at D is ${\vec{R}}_{D}$ = $R_{D x} \hat{i} + R_{D y} \hat{j} + R_{D z} \hat{k}$
The support F can resist only in +Z direction.
So, reaction at F is ${\vec{R}}_{F}$ = R_Fz $\hat{k}$
The support E can resist in only +x and +z direction translation.
So, reaction at E is ${\vec{R}}_{E}$ = $R_{E x} \hat{i} + R_{E z} \hat{k}$

The force ${\vec{F}}_{1}$ = 250 $\hat{j}$ KN

The force ${\vec{F}}_{2}$ = $- 225 \hat{i} + 140 \hat{j} - 60 \hat{k}$ KN

Values of

a =1.84 m

b = 2.13 m

c =2.76 m

Coordinates of F = (0, 0, 0)

Coordinates of D = (b, 0, 0) = (2.13, 0, 0)

Coordinates of E = (0, a, 0) = (0, 1.84, 0)

Coordinates of C = (0, 0, c) = (0, 0, 2.76)

Coordinates of B = (b, a, c) = (2.13, 1.84, 2.76)

To determine, the reaction at D, E and F
