Strategy:

\n

       Draw a free body diagram of the entire frame and each of its legs.  Note that members AB or BC are not two-force bodies; therefore the direction of the forces at A and C don't align with the members and should be represented with x and y components.  In this case all three of the free body diagrams have four unknowns.  Fortunately, the lines of action of three of the unknowns on FBD I intersect at points A and C.

\n

$M_E = \\var{display(abs(M_E))}$ and $D = \\var{display(abs(F_D))}$

Determine necessary angles:

$\\alpha = \\tan^{-1}\\left(\\frac{\\var{y1}}{\\var{x1}}\\right) = \\var{siground(alpha,4)}$°

\n

$\\beta = \\tan^{-1}\\left(\\frac{\\var{y2}}{\\var{x2}}\\right) = \\var{siground(beta,4)}$°

Start with FBD I  and take moments at point A to find force $C_y$.

\n

Use FBD III and take moment about B to find $C_x$.

\n

$\\begin{align} \\textrm{III: } \\Sigma M_B &= 0\\\\  \\simplify{- C_x ({y1}) + C_y ({x2}) + {sign(me)} M_E }  &= 0\\\\ C_x &= \\dfrac{\\simplify{( C_y ({x2})  + {-sign(me)} M_E )}} {\\var{y2}}\\\\ &= \\var{display(Cx)}\\\\ &= \\var{display(abs(Cx))}  \\var{if(VecC[0]<0,latex('\\\\leftarrow'),latex('\\\\rightarrow'))} \\end{align}$
