yes but Ax is the reaction forces of the wall. In my FBD Ax pushes back on 2p and the Normal force.

ok you lost me on this chart. why are there 4p? 2 ax?

A(x) I got is equal to 6552.24, F=-6552.44

ahhh ok I see where I did that! That makes sense, but I make my first cut to determine what Ax is for my free body diagram before the 4Kn. Like I said axial loads have been giving me fits to solve.

I'm not sure. would it? I've struggled with this subject (axial loads). But a guess would be that it would bend the brass?

Where did you get the 13.04 mm? And I thought I did add them together f=-ax and f2=-ax+4000N

Basically I'm asking if I did this correctly and have the correct answer and if I don't, what I did wrong and where I went wrong in my thinking.
