Sorry, the diagram has his solved support reactions given in it, and is likely confusing. The original problem had the 60 K force in x at point F, reactions Ax (to the left) and Ay (upward) at A, reaction Cy (upward at C) and reaction Dy (upward at D). Point A is a pin connection, C and D are...

You would have to ask my professor why members FC or EB are missing, it is his homemade problem. As per my post, it is a roller for support at point C. I also agree there is no point in continuing, since the reaction forces can't be solved for with the three equilibrium equations. Bear in...

Homework Statement The attached solution was given as an answer to a simple truss problem in my sophomore level Statics class. We were to solve for the forces in each member of the truss, using the method of sections for FE and BC, and by joints for the rest. The Hibbeler 12th edition we...
