Yeah all of that definitely makes sense, seeing as sum of forces should equal zero and sum of moments should equal zero.
So Ry1 and Ry2 will be the normal forces opposing the dead load of the system.
Rz1 and Rz2 oppose the 2kPa force of the wind trying to push the sign.
There is a moment about...
Okay, did the free body diagram for the system (I believe that's right?). In the previous diagram, moment about Z was the weight of the sign multiplied by the length of the centroid of the sign to the centroid of the cross section of the pole.
I'm assuming this still applies but pole 2 is equal...
Hey guys,
So just completed a question on a sign post subject to wind loading of 2 kPa where you had to determine bending moments across x and z planes (picture below), to determine normal, shear, max stresses and then determine the factor of safety depending on the beam type you chose. That's...
