Do you think it would be possible for you to provide the correct diagram so I can visualize it a little better? Sorry for it taking so long to sink in its just I thought I understood it before so I am not sure what parts how I was looking at it are incorrect

Sorry I am having a really hard time understanding this. Are my diagrams fine? How would that even work? How could the member without the 700N be in static equilibrium in that case? The forces at D wouldn't even be equal and opposite. Without the 700N, it would not be in equilibrium then? and...

Wouldn't the member not be in static equilibrium then? Since its a 2 FM and even if the force at E counteracts it there would still be a net torque?

Alright that makes sense but if we were looking at member ED without the 700N why would the force be parallel to it in that case? I know it would have to be in order to keep it static but I am having trouble understanding what's the difference between these two situations. Also, if the 700N was...

Hi! I am having trouble with this frame. To make a long story short, I did the problem and got the right answer. The issue is that when I wanted to try solving the problem by exploding the structure into individual members, I couldn't get an answer anymore and it's bothering me because I do not...
