Question: The bent rod is supported at ( A , B ) , and ( C ) by smooth journal bearings as

The bent rod is supported at \( A, B \), and \( C \) by smooth journal bearings as shown in (Figure 1).
Part A
Determine the magnitude of \(\mathbf{F}_{2}\) which will cause the reaction \( C_{y}\) at the bearing \( C \) to be equal to zero. The bearings are in proper alignment and exert only force reactions on the rod. Set \( F_{1}=500\mathrm{lb}\).
Express your answer using three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
