Three particles A, B and C each of mass ...

Three particles A, B and C each of mass m, are connected to each other by three massless rigid rods to form a rigid, equilateral triangular body of side l. This body is placed on a horizonta frictionsess table (x-y plane) and is hinged to it at the point A so that it can move without friction about the vertical axis through A . the body is set into rotational motion on the table about A with a constant angular velocity `omega`.

(a) Find the magnitude of the horizontal force exerted by the hinge on the body.
(b) At time T, when the side BC is parallel to the x-axis, a force F is applied on B along BC (as shown). Obtain the x-component and the y-component of the force exerted by the hinge on the body, immediately after time T.
