Please solve with method of sections and method of joints, completed with necessary free body diagrams and step by step explanation.
Problem
The idealized model of an initial design for a mechanism is shown below. The mechanism is attached to
a rigid steel frame that may be considered to be 'ground'.
For the loading condition with vertical load PV=3.6kN and horizontal load PH=1.5kN, and the linear actuator AB
holding it in the position shown, determine the force required to be applied by the linear actuator and
the reaction forces in each of the pin connections at A,B,C,D,E and F.
