The rod assembly shown has a ball-and-socket joint at and a smooth journal bearing at C . The forces F_1=299 kN, F_2=73.0 kN, and F_3=130 kN are applied at B, D , and D, respectively. The geometry of the rod assembly is given as a=2.8 m, b=0.950 m, c=1.00 m, and d=0.600 m. Neglect the weight of the rod. The journal bearing supports the rod in such a manner that it is free to rotate in the Z-direction.
