Hi, I've got a little problem with a bending moment question. Here it is (really sorry for the bad diagram!) http://img474.imageshack.us/img474/7844/help15eu.jpg" R1 and R2 are reactional forces, which using moments I have calcualted to be: R1=110kN R2=141kN Section A of the...

Thanks a lot mate, if we presume that the pivot point of the boom is at point (0,y1) and the pivot point of the cylinder is at point (x1,0), then the relationship between theta and phi is: phi = inv.tan (-(dcostheta + y1)/(x1 - dsintheta)) Which can be easily substituted into the left hand...
