the force exerted at Con member CDE.
D

SOLUTION

See solution of Problem 6.91 for derivation of Eq. (1).

For h=6 ft, C, - 6 kips)=-3

6
=3 kips

Free body: Member CDE:

From above, we have
C, =3.00 kips -
+)EM;=0: (10 kips)X(7 A)-(3 kips)\(6 ft) -C,(8At) =0
Da lDkips
C, = +6.50 kips, C, =6.50 kips|
|6ft
T 3
+.EF, =0: -3 kips +(0 kips) +E, =0
8ft
E, =-3.00 kips, E, =3.00 kips -
4
+fEF, =0: 6.5 kips-(10 kips) +E, =0
E, =1.500 kips E, =1.500 kips
