A camera weighing 240g is mounted on a tripod weighing 200g. The camera's weight is uniformly distributed and the tripod's weight acts through point D. The problem asks to determine (a) the vertical reaction forces at points A, B, and C when the angle θ is 0, and (b) the maximum value of θ before the tripod tips over.

A camera of mass 240 g is mounted on a small tripod of mass 200 g.
Assuming that the mass of the
camera is uniformly distributed and that the line of action of the weight of the tripod passes through D, determine (a) the vertical components of the reactions at A, B, and C when θ = 0, (b) the maximum value of θ if the tripod is not to tip over.
