Homework Statement
Calculate the load on each member
Homework Equations
[tex]\sum \tau=0[/tex] -because it isn't rotating.
[tex]\sum F =0[/tex] - because it isn't moving.
[tex]\tau = Fd\sin \theta[/tex] - to take the torque at any point
The Attempt at a Solution
I can calculate the torques at each point. I understand that the sums must equal zero. I understand the the concepts of tension and compression and how to get them from the forces at each point.
I have some kind of mental block where I cannot for the love of all that is good and holy relate all that I do understand to the forces at each point.
