Homework Statement
Determine the components of the forces acting on each member of the pin-connected frame shown.
(the frame shown is drawn as a free-body diagram in the image provided below (the top-most portion) and is correct)
Homework Equations
Equilibrium equations:
∑M=0
∑Fx=0
∑Fy=0
The Attempt at a Solution
In this section, I am supposed to be using the Method of Members, which I have attempted below. My work is divided into 4 sections (from top to bottom: FBD of entire frame ; FBD of member FCD ; FBD of ABC; FBD of member DBE)
Everything is correct except for the forces Cx and By. Any help?
