HW250

The cantilever truss shown carries a vertical load of 10.8 kN. The truss is supported by bearing at $A$ and $B$ which exert the forces $A_v$, $A_h$, and $B_h$. The four forces shown constitute two couples which must have opposite moment effects to prevent movement of the truss.

Determine the magnitude of the supporting forces.

$A_v =$ 10.8 kN upward

$A_h =$ 16.2 kN to the left

$B_h =$ 16.2 kN to the right
