Hello every one
I am confused between two support type:
the pin, and the link
On the textbook, it says, the pin prevents the object from translating vertically and horzontally, therefore, it provides fx and fy reaction forces.
but another type of support is much identical to the pin, which is the link support, the photo is here: http://imageshack.us/f/105/pinconnectiontw4.jpg/
at point A, the beam AB is subjected to the pin support, so it has two components of reaction forces, namely fx and fy
but what about at point G, how come it only provides one force components, namely fx, but not fy as well? is the point G also classified as pin support?
i am very confused; instructor said that whenever u see a pin support, there's two force components; how come this is not a case here?
