(A) Draw the components of the load in each member of the frame shown. Assume that BC and AC exert tension and CD exerts compression. Use the symbols Ax, Ay and Az for the x, y and z components respectively of force AC. Follow the same manner of representing the components of the forces in the other members, i.e., Bx, By, Bz and Dx, Dy and Dz accordingly. (B) Set up the equilibrium equation based on summation of moments about AB. Use the symbols indicated in (A). Take the counterclockwise moment as positive. (C) Set up the equilibrium equilibrium equation based on summation of moments about a vertical line passing through A (YA). Use the same symbols as in (A). Take the counterclockwise sense as positive. (D) Determine the load in member BC. Indicate if tension or compression. No need to convert units. express the answer in kips.
