Reactions are va+ab = 5t.

Moment at A= 4t*x+5t*x-vb*2x = 0.

So 9t = 2vb.

vb = 4.5t.

So force in compression member BF = 4.5t compression.

Taking moment about A.

Vb * 2 = 5 * 1 + 4 * 1.
=> Vb = 4.5T Upward.

Considering joint B
Fbc = 0 & Fbf = 4.5T c.

How to determine it as compression or tension?

Is sign is - then compression?

If sign positive then tension.

How to consider the length of this? Please explain me in detail.

Here, Assume x as the length of each segment.

Answer is A) 4T tension.

Why zero can't be? Explain, please.

Thanks everyone for explaining.

By equilibrium conditions.

All vertical forces=0,
Va + Vb = 5t, ----> eqn(1).

Taking moments about A,
Vb*2=5*1+4*1,
Vb = 4.5t
Va = 4.5t.
