For a general area the following properties have been calculated…..  Ix =  3.142 in4 and Iy =  3.142 in4  and Ixy = -1.778  in4.  On Mohr’s Circle, the center of the circle is located at in4 along the horizontal axis. The radius of the circle is . On the actual cross section, the major principal axis would be shown rotated from the positive x axis.

The system shown is supported by a pin at A and a roller at E. It is composed of three straight members AC, BE, CD as well as the pulley at C that holds the freely hanging weight. If the vertical reaction at point E is 32 kN (upward), determine the compressive force developed in member CD.
