The bent rod is supported at A, B, and C by smooth journal bearings. Determine the magnitude of F2 which will cause the reaction Cy at the bearing C to be equal to zero. The bearings are in proper alignment and exert only force reactions on the rod.

Given:

F1 = 300 lb d = 3 ft

Cy = 0 lb e = 5 ft

a = 1 ft α = 30 deg

b = 4 ft β = 45 deg

c = 2 ft θ = 45 deg
