A horizontal bracket ABC consists of two perpendicular arms AB of a length 0.75 m and BC of a length 0,5 m. The bracket has a solid, circular cross section with a diameter equal to 65 mm. The bracket is inserted in a friction less sleeve at A (which is slightly larger in diameter), so it is free to rotate about the r0 axis at A and is supported by a pin at C Moments are applied at point C M{=1.5 kN -m in the x direction and A/3 = L0 kN-m acts in the — z direction.
