( since and   )

( since )

( since x + x' = 1 )

a = a

Hence it is true.

(b)

Hence, it is not true.

The member AB is supported at B by a cable and at A
The member AB is supported at B by a cable and at A by a smooth fixed square rod which fits loosely through the square hole of the collar. If F= {20i - 40j - 75k} lb, determine the x, y, and z components of the reaction at A and the tension in cable BC. (Note: possible reactions at Aare Ay, Ax, Mx, My, and Mz).
