Answer
Step 1
First of all2 find AC
AC = sin 60° = 2.3
center of distributed law
200 × 2.3 = 460 and its acts at the centre
Step 2
assume the forces on pin A and pin B has following direction
Rax = right
Ray = up
Rbx = right
Rby = down
Step 3

∑A = 0
FAC × ( AC2 ) − 800 × 2 + RBY × [2 + tan260 ] = 0
( 800×2−FAC×( AC2 ))
RBY = [2+ tan260 ] = 338
∑B = 0
− 800 × 2 + (load AC x) × 1 − (load ACy ) × [2 + tan160 ]
+ Ay [2 + tan260 ] = 569.07
Step 4

∑ H = 0(right direction + ve)

Ax + Bx − 800 + ACX = 0
Ax + Bx = 800 − ACX = 400
∑ V = 0 (up side + ve)
RAY − RBY − RCY = 0
resolve at C
one part contains only struss membe AC with the distributed load
Consider the forces at point C = Rcx and Rcy
BC have only stress member
forces at C will be RCX and RCY
∑ MC = 0
− 2RBX + 2RBY = 0
RBX = RBY
RBY = 338
∑ 800N = 0
− 2RBX + 2RCY = 0
− 2RBX + 2RBY = 0
RBX = 338
AX = 61.88N(right)
AY = 569.06N(up)
BX = 338(right)
BY = 338(down)
resultant of pin C is zero
