A prismatic bar AE of negligible weight is hinged to a vertical wall at A and supported by a strut BD as shown in Fig. 1. Find the reaction induced at A and B through the action of a sphere of weight W tied by a string CF that is parallel to AE. Also, find the tension in the string. The radius of the sphere is such that the points B and C are at the same level. Assume W = 1000 lb.
