Question: The bent rod is supported at A, B, and C by smooth journal bearings. Determine the magnitude of F which will cause the reaction C

The bent rod is supported at A, B, and C by smooth journal bearings. Determine the magnitude of F₂ which will cause the reaction Cy at the bearing C to be equal to zero. The bearings are in proper alignment and exert only force reactions on the rod. Set F₁ = 300 lb.1 ft 4 ft A 2 ft 45 X F B 3

1 ft 4 ft A 2 ft 45 X F B 3 ft- N 45 F 30 C 5 ft
