Civil Engineering > GATE 2016 SET-1 > Trusses
A rigid member ACB is shown in the figure. The member is supported at A and B by pinned and guided roller supports, respectively. A force P acts at C as shown. Let RAh and RBh be the horizontal reactions at supports A and B, respectively, and RAv be the vertical reaction at support A. Self-weight of the member may be ignored.
Which one of the following sets gives the correct magnitudes of RAv, RBh and RAh?
A
RAv=0; RBh=(1/3)P; and RAh=(2/3)P
B
RAv=0, RBh=(2/3)P; and RAh=(1/3)P
C
RAv=P; RBh=(3/8)P; and RAh=(1.5/8)P
D
RAv=P; RBh=(1.5/8)P; and RAh=(1.5/8)P

Correct : d
