Question: 7 The structure consisting of bars ( A C D ) and ( B C ) connected by a pin at

7
The structure consisting of bars \( A C D \) and \( B C \) connected by a pin at \( C \) is supported by pins at \( A \) and B. A counterclockwise couple of magnitude \(200\mathrm{kN}-\mathrm{m}\) is applied at point A as shown. A force of magnitude \(80-\mathrm{kN}\) is to be applied at the end D of bar ACD . What should be the value of the angle beta for the magnitude of the reaction at pin B to be maximum? (Assume that the bars are of negligible weight.) Write your answer and reasoning *
