Simple moments ! Can't do ! Urgent

Homework Statement



Determine the reactions at the smooth collar A, the rocker B and the shortlink CD.

Homework Equations


RC = Normal reaction at smooth collar A.
RN = Normal reaction at rocker B.
RD = Normal reaction at D.
Moment at rocker B is given to be 4KN.
All distance shown in the diagram(made in paint) are in meters.


The Attempt at a Solution



The equations I made are :-
Taking moments at B...
(RCsin45*10) + (2.5cos60*3) + (4) = (RCcos45*3) + (RD*3) + (2.5sin60*6)
Forces...
RCcos45 = RD + 2.5cos60
RCsin45 + RN = 2.5sin60

The answer I get is wrong after calculating. Where does the error lie?

Thread 'Direction of the magnetic field of an oscillating charge'

Hello everyone, I’m considering a point charge q that oscillates harmonically about the origin along the z-axis, e.g. $$z_{q}(t)= A\sin(wt)$$ In a strongly simplified / quasi-instantaneous approximation I ignore retardation and take the electric field at the position ##r=(x,y,z)## simply to be the “Coulomb field at the charge’s instantaneous position”: $$E(r,t)=\frac{q}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}}\frac{r-r_{q}(t)}{||r-r_{q}(t)||^{3}}$$ with $$r_{q}(t)=(0,0,z_{q}(t))$$ (I’m aware this isn’t...

Thread 'Initial conditions for orbits around a wormhole'

Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
