As f(bc)sin0 = zero at vertical equilibrium forces = 0.

Therefore f(bc) = 0.

Apply equation pf equilibrium at joint c. Hence there is no force at BC.

Here if we consider the equilibrium of pt. C,

In x direction, -f(cb)- f(cd)Cos 8 = 0.
& in y direction, -f(cd)Sin 8 = 0.

This gives, f(cd) = 0.
Therefore, f(cb) = 0.

Hence, option(C) is correct.

What will be the answer in mathematical form?

Abhishek said:   1 decade ago
How?

It should be indeterminate.

Because there is no dimensions are given.

Here will be some horizontal thrust which we will calculate by taking moment.
