Question: Problem 4 Treat the strut AB as a cable with diameter 1 2 mm and the post CD has a diameter of 4 0 mm

Problem 4 Treat the strut AB as a cable with diameter 12 mm and the post CD has a diameter of 40 mm .
(a) Draw a free body diagram of the beam AC by removing the cable and the post support. Assume the bar is thin, and that the weight is negligible.
(b) Find reaction forces on the beam AB supplied by the cable and post.
(c) Find the axial stress \(\sigma \) in both the cable AB and post CD. Report whether this axial stress is either causing tension or compression.
