Yes I'm a student. Sorry, is there a way to move the post to the homework section? If not I will just repost it there.

No it's not but wasn't sure if I should have posted it HW section. I was thinking of designing a basic scissor lift for a project and just wanted clarification on how the forces acton the pins. But I believe I figured out how the forces react on the pins. For the pin where the piston is attached...

I am trying to understand how calculate the forces in the beams or atleast how they relate to each other. There is a pin at the top right its just hidden as it is a wheel behind the rail. I am confused at the pin where the cylinder connects on how the load would be transferred to the lower parts...
