Space frame ABCD is clamped at 3A, except it is free to translate in the x direction.

Question:

Space frame ABCD is clamped at 3A, except it is free to translate in the x direction. There is also roller support at D, which is normal to line CDE. A triangularly distributed force with peak intensity q0 = 75 N/m acts along AB in the positive z direction. Forces Px = 60 N and P= − 45 N are applied at joint C, and a concentrated moment My = 120 N · m acts at the mid-span of member BC. 

(a) Find reactions at supports A and D.

(b) Find internal stress resultants N, V, T, and M at the mid-height of segment AB.
