HW$08-3($P$5-71)$: The rod assembly is used to support the $250-1b$ cylinder. Determine the components of reaction at the ball$-$and$-$socket joint $A,$ the smooth journal bearing $E,$ and the force developed along rod $CD.$ The connections at $C$ and $D$ are ball$-$and$-$socket joints. Hint: You can treat member CD as a two$-$force member.
