Your free body diagram looks right. Now take a moment around G to find what member DE is. Next, sum the forces in x and y to find DG and GH.
Was I helpful to you with this? I really struggled with trusses in statics and now have a really good understanding of how to solve these problems.
Just making sure of this, but... we need to make sure that the multiplicity of the eigenvalue (if only one) equals n of I_n.
I'm doing some late-night studying, catching up so hopefully I can pass my exam on Wednesday. I hope I can learn to like linear algebra after this class is over. I'm...
This is a general question because I don't seem to be getting a straight answer from my textbook. I know how to find eigenvalues/vectors, but finding IF an eigenbasis exists is what is throwing me off.
Can someone give me an example of, say, a 3x3 matrix and go through the procedure of...
I am fine with integration, but I'd like to really understand how to do these problems before using calculus. Thank you again. I really appreciate your help :-)
Thank you thank you thank you. You really helped me to understand this problem and I now feel comfortable if I write a moment wrong. For some reason, I felt comfortable with drawing forces in the wrong direction but not moments when we got to chapter 7. I have the 12th edition of Hibbeler and...
Sorry, I meant to title it "Basic statics question on bending moment equation." Oh well.

Okay I've sort of figured it out. Hopefully, I'm getting somewhere with this:
ABxCD, and then make this a unit vector. Then dot this unit vector with vector AC.
