Solution

Let’s start by drawing the structural elements indicating all the forces acting on them as

shown below:

Since we have a hyper-static system whose degree of hyper-staticity is 1, we can start by

finding the value of the unique hyper-static unknown.

Equilibrium of force

∑ F vertical =0
⟹ V A +V C =250 ⋯ ⋯ ⋯ (1)

∑ F horizont al=0
⟹ H C + X =7 5 ⋯ ⋯ ⋯ (2) Since H A =X

Equilibrium of moments

∑ M A =0
⟹ −V C ( 4 ) +¿ ( X −75 )∗3 +¿ 75(1) +¿ 50∗5∗1.5 ¿ 0 ⋯ ⋯ ⋯ (3)
From equation 3, we have that:

−4 V C +3 X +225=0

⟹ V C =56.25 +¿ 0.75 X

Consequently, we have that

⟹ V A =193.75 −¿ 0.75 X

Let’s study the behavior of bending moment on each member of our structure

Member CD

M ( z ) =(56.25+0.75 X ) z −¿ 25 z 2 z ϵ [0 , 4]

Member AD’ (where D’ is the point where the 75 kN force is applied)

M (z) ¿ Xz z ϵ [0 ,1]

Member D’D

M (z) ¿ X ( z +1 )−75 z z ϵ [0 ,2]

By solving for the value of the hyper-static unknown, we get

350
X= kN ¿ 16.67 kN
21

We therefore have all values of the reactions

That is,

H A =16.67 kN

V A =181.25 kN

H C =58.33 kN

V C =68.75 kN
