Strategy:

\n

Note that members AB and BC are two-force bodies and both act on pin B in known directions.  Draw a free body diagram of the two members and of the forces acting on pin at B, and solve it for the magnitudes of A and C using the equilibrium equation method or the force-triangle method

\n

Known:

\n

$W$ = {F_w}

\n

Determine necessary angles:

\n

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

\n

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

\n

Using the law of sines to solve for forces A and C:

\n

$\\dfrac{W}{\\sin(\\alpha+\\beta)} = \\dfrac{AB}{\\sin(90°-\\alpha)} = \\dfrac{CB}{\\sin(90°-\\beta)}$

\n

$A = W \\dfrac{\\cos(\\alpha)}{\\sin(\\alpha+\\beta)}$ = {display(magA)} $\\nearrow$

\n

$C = W \\dfrac{\\cos(\\beta)}{\\sin(\\alpha+\\beta)}$ = {display(magC)}  $\\nwarrow$

\n

Find the scalar components of the forces at pins A and C.

\n

Note: Scalar components have a sign which indicates direction: positive values indicate $\\uparrow$  or $\\rightarrow$, negative indicate $\\downarrow$ or $\\leftarrow$.

\n

$\\begin{align} A_x = A \\cos(\\alpha) &= \\var{qty(vecA[0],units[0])}& &C_x = C \\cos(\\beta) = \\var{qty(vecC[0],units[0])} \\\\  A_y = A \\sin(\\alpha) &= \\var{qty(vecA[1],units[0])}  &&      C_y = C \\sin(\\beta) = \\var{qty(vecC[1],units[0])} \\end{align}$

You can use the equations of equilibrium to verify that these answers put point $B$ in equilibrium.
