To solve the forces in the linkages, we isolate and draw the FBD of the timber as shown below. Note that
the linkages will only develop axial forces because their loads are applied only to their hinged joints. For

ease of solving, the force in link BF is decomposed into vertical and horizontal components as shown by
the dashed arrowed lines. This has to be done because, by inspection, we know that the only force
resisting the 20kips horizontal load is the horizontal component of force F BF.
