Homework Statement
Two cylinders, each with a mass of 10kg, are lying on an L profile.
Neglect the thickness and weight of the L profile.
Calculate the reaction force in b and e.
Homework Equations
G = mg
The Attempt at a Solution
So I tried to make a free body diagram of the cylinders.
I assume their mass is combined, since they are close together.
I took 1 cm = 40N
G = 10*2*9.81 = 196.2 N
I think I found Fxb, but how to find the rest?
Can someone help me?
The answers on my answer sheet are:
Fxb = 100 N
Fyb = 136.14 N
Fye = 36.96 N
