Work Step by Step

Equations of Equilibrium. $ \begin{aligned} & \Sigma F_x=0 ; F_{A D}\left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{6}}\right)-F_{B D}\left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{6}}\right)-F_{C D}\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)=0 \\ & \Sigma F_y=0 ;-F_{A D}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}}\right)-F_{B D}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}}\right)+F_{C D}\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)=0 \\ & \Sigma F_z=0 ; \quad F_{A D}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}}\right)+F_{B D}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}}\right)+F_{C D}\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)-130(9.81)=0 \end{aligned} $ Solving Eqs. $ \begin{aligned} & F_{A D}=1561.92 \mathrm{~N}=1.56 \mathrm{kN} \\ & F_{B D}=520.64 \mathrm{~N}=521 \mathrm{~N} \\ & F_{C D}=1275.3 \mathrm{~N}=1.28 \mathrm{kN} \end{aligned} $
