    What are the Internal Forces at Point C in a Distributed Load System?

    It is clearly the most straiforward. But how is the component of the tension at the end of the beam not included in equation?

    What are the Internal Forces at Point C in a Distributed Load System?

    Ahhhhhhh OK because the cable is only in the x direction after it goes over the pulley all of its y components are transferred to the beam. So if I finish my first equation I end up with. ΣM=0: 8(2.25)-T(cos33.7)(2.25)+T(cos33.7)(1.5)=0 And I get T=30

    What are the Internal Forces at Point C in a Distributed Load System?

    how does all of the tension in the cable get transmitted to the lever arm over the pulley?

    What are the Internal Forces at Point C in a Distributed Load System?

    but why exactly the T(0.6) in 2nd equation

    What are the Internal Forces at Point C in a Distributed Load System?

    Homework Statement find internal normal, shear, and moment forces at point C, P=8kn The Attempt at a Solution for the most part I can solve this entire question but looking at the solution for it one of my equations is different and I cannot figure out why. my equation for finding T(tension...
