\includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{5bb3bd29-a2eb-4124-802c-fb17b68c50e4-3_462_1109_283_569} Two uniform rods \(A B\) and \(B C\) have weights 64 N and 40 N respectively. The rods are freely jointed to each other at \(B\). The rod \(A B\) is freely jointed to a fixed point on horizontal ground at \(A\) and the rod \(B C\) rests against a vertical wall at \(C\). The rod \(B C\) is 1.8 m long and is horizontal. A particle of weight 9 N is attached to the rod \(B C\) at the point 0.4 m from \(C\). The point \(A\) is 1.2 m below the level of \(B C\) and 3.8 m from the wall (see diagram). The system is in equilibrium.

1. Show that the magnitude of the frictional force at \(C\) is 27 N .
2. Calculate the horizontal and vertical components of the force exerted on \(A B\) at \(B\).
3. Given that friction is limiting at \(C\), find the coefficient of friction between the \(\operatorname { rod } B C\) and the wall.
