Solution:

Given Data:

*The angle of inclination of member BD with the horizontal is:   

The magnitude of the resultant moment about point A can be calculated as:

 2500 lb  4 ft    800 lb  cos 30 2 ft  cos 30    800 lb  sin 30 2 ft  sin 30  
MA   
 
  1200 lb   4 ft +  4 ft  cos 30   3 ft  

M A  10000 lb-ft  1200 lb-ft  400 lb-ft + 12557 lb-ft

M A = 20957 lb-ft  Clockwise 
