I really appreciate your help PhanthomJay. Ok, so this is what I've got so far; \SigmaMDz=0, therefore (FAyx1)-(5x2)=0 therefore FAy=10 \SigmaFy=0, therefore FDy+10-5=0 therefore FDy=5...

Oops, my appologies. I haven't attempted a solution because I honastly don't know what to do. I realize I have to fine the moment at D using \SigmaMD=0 and use that to find Dx and Dy, then use the method of joints to solve for the member forces, but as to what numbers I use to find the moment at...

Hey Guys, I've got a pretty simple (I think) pin joint frame question. I am pretty weak in this area of mechanics so if someone could advise me on how to go about doing this question i would really appreciate it. The Figure Q1 (The Attatchment) shows a pin jointed frame. The frame is...
