Problem 6
A tripod is loaded at point O with an external force F as shown in the picture. This force lies in the xy plane with an orientation defined by the angle measured from the y axis. Knowing that internal forces are developed along the axes of each leg (e.g., the internal force of the leg OC is directed along the line OC):
a) Determine the angle such that the internal forces developed in legs OB and OC have the same magnitude.
b) Determine the internal forces in each leg.
The supports at A,B,C can exert forces in either direction along the attached legs.
