AVERAGE
Solution:
FBD external forces

cos-1 (240 / 510) = 61.93

Dx = 40kNcos(61.93) = 18.82 kN
Dy = 40kNsin(61.93) = 35.29 kN
MC = 0

P(.135m) + (35.29kN)(.240m) = 0

P = -62.74 kN

DIFFICULT
Solution:
FBD (Over-all)

Computation of Distributed Load:

Component
I

Area
.5(50kN/m)(7.5m)
= 187.5 kN

II

.5 (20 kN/m)(4.5m)
= 45 kN

Point of Application
7.5- 7.5/3 = 5 m from the base
3.0 + (4.5 x 2/3) = 6 m from the base

ME = 0:
-(45 kN)(6 m) + (187.5 kN)(5m) + Fy(2 + 53 )m = 0
Fy = -62.62 kN
Fy = 0:
Ey= 62.62 kN
Er = Ey /cos30
= 72.31 kN
Ex = Er cos60
Ex = 36.15 kN
Fx = 0:
45 kN 187.5 kN + 36.15 kN + Fx = 0

FA/B, x = 4.17 kN
Fy = 0:
FA/C,y = FA/B,y + Fy = 77.62 kN
Fx = 0:
FA/C,x + Fx = 187.5 kN + 4.17 kN
FA/C,x = 85.32 kN

Forces acting externally on Member A:

1. Force due to Member C:
FA/C,x = 85.32 kN, directed to the right
FA/C,y = 77.62 kN, directed upwards
Resultant = 115.34 kN, 42.29 wrt +x-axis
2. Force due to distributed load
= 187.5 kN, directed to the left
3. Force due to Member B:
FA/B,x = 4. 17 kN, directed to the left
FA/B,y = 15.00 kN, directed downwards
Resultant = 15.57 kN, 74.46 wrt -x-axis
4. Support Reactions:
Fx = 106.35 kN, directed to the right
Fy = 62.62 kN, directed downwards

Resultant = 123.52 kN, 59.51 wrt -y-axis
