Click For Summary
The discussion centers on producing Shear Force Diagrams (SFD) and Bending Moment Diagrams (BMD) for a pinned frame, with the user expressing uncertainty about the accuracy of their diagrams. Key issues identified include the omission of the pin at joint C and the need to multiply wind pressure by frame spacing to determine horizontal frame load. Additionally, an incorrect moment arm for a load was noted, requiring correction from 8 m to 16 m. It's emphasized that there should be moments at the upper corner joints, contrary to the user's current representation of zero moments. Accurate calculations and proper diagram representation are crucial for correct analysis.

I have to provide calcs and then produce Shear Force Diagrams, Bending Moment Diagrams.
I,ve completed it but I think I,m going wrong somewhere. The diagrams do not look correct. I suspect I,ve possibly got positive/negative values mixed up somewhere through it but I,m not totally sure. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

See attachment for the question & my workings.

your initial diagram does not show the pin at C.
The frames are spaced 4.8 m apart , so the wind pressure must be multiplied by the frame spacing to get the horizontal frame load in units of kN/m.
Otherwise your approach looks good, but you had an incorrect moment arm for that 10.6 N load ...should be 16 m not 8 m.
When you draw shear and moment diagrams, there must be a moment at the upper corner joints, not 0 as you have shown. The horiz and vert members are rigidly connected at those joints.
 
The book claims the answer is that all the magnitudes are the same because "the gravitational force on the penguin is the same". I'm having trouble understanding this. I thought the buoyant force was equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. Weight depends on mass which depends on density. Therefore, due to the differing densities the buoyant force will be different in each case? Is this incorrect?
