A 20-kg cover for a roof opening is hinged at corners A and B. The roof forms an angle of 30° with the horizontal, and the cover is maintained in a horizontal position by the brace CE. Draw the free-body diagram needed to determine the magnitude of the force exerted by the brace and the reactions at the hinges. Assume that the hinge at A does not exert any axial thrust. |
