Question: 2 2 in . vertical rod ( C D ) is welded to the midpoint ( C ) of the 5

22 in . vertical rod \( C D \) is welded to the midpoint \( C \) of the 50-in. rod \( A B \). Determine the moment about \( A B \) of the \(250-1 b \) force \( Q \) by the method indicated. Given a \(=18\mathrm{in}\).
Using moment of force Q applied at point D about point B .
\( y \)-component of point \( D=\) in.
Unit vector from D to \(\mathrm{H}=\)
