Question: Consider the two - member frame. Member A E is connected at C to member B D by a pin connection. The cylinder weighs 2

Consider the two-member frame. Member AE is connected at C to member BD by a pin connection. The cylinder weighs 200N. Determine
a. the loads acting on the frame at D and E.
b. the loads of member AE acting on member BD at C.
c. the loads of member BD acting on member AE at C.
Note: Book problem has typo in its numbering.
*Hint: The most important part of this problem is drawing the free body diagrams for AE and BD . Then you can get Cx and Cy by taking the sum of moments about point D and the sum of the moments about point E and using the two resulting equations to solve for Cx and Cy. Then do the sum of forces in X and Y to get the support forces at D and E .
[Ans:
(a)FE=(40i+400j)N,||FE||=402N(support force at E),
FD=(-40i-200j)N,||FD||=204N(support force at D)
(b)FC=(-240i-400j)N,||FC||=466N(force of AE acting on BD at C)
(c)FC=(240i+400j)N,||FC||=466N(force of BD acting on AE at C )]
Consider the two - member frame. Member A E is
