Fx = 0 = 300 N - Ax
Ax = 300 N

Fy = 0 = - Ay - 480
MA = 0 = B x 160 - 480 x 100
Ay = - 480 N
B = (480 x 100)/160 = 300 N

Sample Problem 6.5
Determine the components of the forces acting on each
member of the frame shown.
3.6 m

2.7 m
E F
4.8 m
Sample Problem 6.5 cont.
Free Body: Entire Frame
3.6 m
Since the external reactions involve
A only three unknowns, we compute
2400 N
the reactions by considering the
C
D free-body diagram of the entire
B
frame.

Sample Problem 6.5 cont.
+ ME = 0: -(2400 N)(3.6 m) + F(4.8 m) = 0
F = + 1800 N F = 1800 N
+ Fy = 0: -2400 N + 1800 N + Ey = 0
Ey = + 600 N Ey = 600 N
+ Fx = 0: Ex = 0
1800 N
Sample Problem 6.6
Determine the forces acting on the vertical members of the frame.
600 lb
(1) Since this frame has 2 pin
supports, it is technically
indeterminate.
10'
However you can still
solve for Ey and Fy, which
E F Fx
will get you started.
Ex
Ey 6' Fy
+ (2.5/6.5)AB 6
2.5
ME = 0 = (6/6.5)AB x 10' Ex
-(6/6.5)CD x 2.5 - 600 x 10 Ey = 1000 lb
CD = (1000 - .385)AB/.385
CD = 2597 - AB
Sample Problem 6.6 cont.
0 = 9.23 AB - 2.31 CD - 6000
0 = 9.23 AB - 2.31(2597 - AB) - 6000
0 = 11.54 AB - 12,000
AB = 12000/11.54 = 1040 lb (force as drawn in FBD (2))
CD = 2597 - 1040 = 1557 lb (force as drawn in FBD (2))
and Fx = 0 = 600 lb - (6/6.5)AB + (6/6.5)CD - Ex
0 = 600 - 960 + 1437 - Ex
Ex = 1077 lb (2)

1000 = .385 AB + .385 CD F Fx
CD = 1556 lb
Fx = 0 = (6/6.5)AB - (6/6.5)CD + Fx
AB = 1040 lb
Fx = 480 lb
