Members AB and BC shown in Fig. F-002(MM) are pinned together
at point B, and are pinned to the floor at points A and C. The
structure supports a pulley at point B with which, a person is hoisting
a 2.0 kN load. Member BC has a weight of 1.6 kN, which may be
considered to act at its center, while AB is made of strong-light
material and has negligible weight. Determine the value of the
external support reactions at A and C
