Member BE: \sum F_x = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad \frac{F_G}{\sqrt{2}} = F + E_x \sum F_y = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad E_y = \frac{F_G}{\sqrt{2}} \Rightarrow F_G = \sqrt{2}E_y From equilibrium: E_y = F + E_x Member BC: \sum F_x = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad B_x = E_x + \frac{F_C}{\sqrt{2}}...

so how should I draw the FBD if I ignore the internal forces? I tried just the L for A and C and took Cx & Cy into account. then ACDG as one body and got F=0;

on second maybe this 2a(By + Ey - F - Gx) + a(Gy + Cy - Ex - Cx) = 0.

Like this?

ok for Fy=0; Oy + Ay = 2F, Fx=0; Ox + F = 0, Ma=0; 2F(2a) - Oy(2a) - F(2a) = 0; which gives Oy = F & Ay = F & Ox = -F.

2a(By + Ey +F) + a (Gy + Gx + Cy + Cx + Ex) like this?

what if I take method of sections and use the left side?

I took moment about A and the distance from A for Ex & Bx are 2a.

Like this?

TL;DR: determine the internal force of member OA Hi I'm struggling with this problem. I have calculated the angle to be 45 degrees with tan(theta) = a/a. A is a roller which only has Ay and O has Ox & Oy as a fixed pin. (see fbd.png) is my FBD correct?

TL;DR: This determine the support reactions at A & B I tried calculate moment about a which is 2a(By + Bx + Ey + Ex +F) + a (Gy + Gx + Cy + Cx). But I don't think I'm correct, any help would be appreciated, this was a question on a final exam paper in my Mechanics course.

(a) Electric Field and Potential at O due to Induced Charges $$V_O = 0$$ This potential is the sum of the potentials due to the real charges (##+q, -q##) and the induced charges on the sphere. $$V_O = V_{\text{real}} + V_{\text{induced}} = 0$$ Reasoning: Conductor as an Equipotential: The...

Maybe just stuck at part a with induced charge. For part b I referred to this in my teachers powerpoint.

Hi, I'm stuck at this question, please help. Attempt to the Conducting Sphere and Dipole Problem (a) Electric Field and Potential at O due to Induced Charges $$V_O = 0$$ This potential is the sum of the potentials due to the real charges (##+q, -q##) and the induced charges on the sphere...
