I was reading through my mechanics of materials book (Mechanics of Materials 8th ed. R.C. Hibbler) learning about stress and came across example 1.6 pg. 28. while most of the example makes sense the last bit of part b) confused me. I am unsure as to why for Pcd he only showed the 22 kN force acting in both directions but neglected the two 4 kN forces acting in the positive x direction..
If I need to I could further explain the whole problem but if someone happens to have the same book and can explain this to me that would be great. If I need to I can further explain his example I just figured I would try to save time if possible.
I hope this is the right place to post this question, it's not technically a homework question since its just an example in the book.
well thanks for any help ahead of time.Also.. I don't know if I am allowed to do this but I can scan and upload an image of the example problem if needed. Let me know if this is possible as it might help.
