The bent rod AB is supported by cable BC and a square-shaft bearing at A as shown below. Please complete the following tasks: 1. Draw the free body diagram of the bent rod AB 2. Define the equilibrium equations for force and moment, making sure all terms are fully developed in terms of F, L, and w 3. Using the equilibrium equations, calculate the reactions at A and the tension of cable BC for F = 300 N, L = 4 m, and w = 250 N/m X F L/3 y B L N A L/2 C - y The bent rod AB is supported by cable BC and a square-shaft bearing at A as shown below.
