A truss has forces applied to it at C and at D at the angles shown. Given the dimensions and forces shown in the table, find the moments that these two forces create about joints A and B. Also find the reaction forces at the supports.
Moments: (counter-clockwise positive; clockwise negative.)
Reactions: (Denote upward or rightward forces applied to the truss with positive values; downward or leftward forces applied to the truss with negative values.)
