HW450

The billboard $BC$ weighing 1000 lb is subjected to a wind pressure of 300 lb/ft.

Neglecting the weights of the support-members, determine the component of the hinge forces at $A$ and $F$.

$A_H$ = 4500 lb to the left

$A_V$ = 2250 lb downward

$F_H$ = 1500 lb to the right

$F_V$ = 3250 lb upward
