Simple moments ! Can't do ! Urgent

Homework Statement



Determine the reactions at the smooth collar A, the rocker B and the shortlink CD.

Homework Equations


RC = Normal reaction at smooth collar A.
RN = Normal reaction at rocker B.
RD = Normal reaction at D.
Moment at rocker B is given to be 4KN.
All distance shown in the diagram(made in paint) are in meters.


The Attempt at a Solution



The equations I made are :-
Taking moments at B...
(RCsin45*10) + (2.5cos60*3) + (4) = (RCcos45*3) + (RD*3) + (2.5sin60*6)
Forces...
RCcos45 = RD + 2.5cos60
RCsin45 + RN = 2.5sin60

The answer I get is wrong after calculating. Where does the error lie?

1. What are simple moments?

Simple moments refer to the everyday occurrences and experiences that may seem mundane or insignificant, but can hold significant meaning or impact on our lives.

2. Why can't we do simple moments?

We may not always prioritize or actively engage in simple moments due to our busy schedules, distractions, or lack of awareness. However, we can make a conscious effort to appreciate and find joy in these moments.

3. What makes simple moments urgent?

Simple moments can become urgent when we realize their value and the limited time we have to experience them. They can also become urgent when they hold the potential to bring us happiness, fulfillment, or growth.

4. How can simple moments impact our lives?

Simple moments can have a profound impact on our lives by bringing us joy, gratitude, mindfulness, and a sense of purpose. They can also help us slow down and appreciate the present moment.

5. How can we make time for simple moments?

We can make time for simple moments by intentionally setting aside time in our daily routines to engage in activities that bring us joy or allow us to appreciate the present moment. We can also prioritize and limit distractions to fully immerse ourselves in these moments.
