Homework Equations
Sum Horizontal forces = 0
Sum vertical forces = 0
Sum moments = 0
Sum Horizontal Forces=0
The Attempt at a Solution
Dx-Ax+Bx+Cx=0
Dx-Ax+Bx+981
Sum Vertical Forces
Dy+Ay-By=0
Sum Moments=0
Ma+Md=0
Ma=-Md
Ma=Dx(0.5)+By(0.8) +981(0.1)
D and A are fixed, compute reaction forces at B. I don't know if I have the Cx bit right about how it distributes forces within the structure. I seem to have too many variables and not enough equations. Apologies for being a newbie at this stuff. Thanks in advance.
