Question

The roof truss is bolted to a reinforced masonry pier at A and connected to an elastomeric pad at C. The pad, which can apply verticalt restraint in either direction

but no horizontal restraint, can be treated as a roller. The support at A can be treated as a pin. Compute the reactions at supports A and C produced by the wind load. Given: X=370 lb/ft. The magnitude of the reaction at A is Ax=kips, and the direction is The magnitude of the reaction at A is Ay=kips, and the direction is The magnitude of the reaction at Cis Cy=-----kips, and the direction is
