Do you think you could try and solve it with pen and paper and tell me if you can do it

basically I'm looking for a single answer for c but i get a sin wave and don't know where to go from there.

i tried to do that but i can't get it to come out. this is how i did it lets call the horizontal reaction at A ra and the angle between the vertical bar and the rod AB angle c then the sum of the moments about C is Mc= 30*.107+ra*.107/sin(c)-110*(.624*sin(c)-.107) and ra is 140*sin(c)...

thanks

Homework Statement Rod AB is attached to a collar at A and rests against a roller at C. a = 107mm, l = 642mm, P = 110kN and Q = 30kN, determine: The reaction at A (by the vertical rod) (Unit: kN) The magnitude of the reaction at C (Unit: kN) Homework Equations This is my first...
