AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on producing Shear Force Diagrams (SFD) and Bending Moment Diagrams (BMD) for a pinned frame, with the user expressing uncertainty about the accuracy of their diagrams. Key issues identified include the omission of the pin at joint C and the need to multiply wind pressure by frame spacing to determine horizontal frame load. Additionally, an incorrect moment arm for a load was noted, requiring correction from 8 m to 16 m. It's emphasized that there should be moments at the upper corner joints, contrary to the user's current representation of zero moments. Accurate calculations and proper diagram representation are crucial for correct analysis.

I have to provide calcs and then produce Shear Force Diagrams, Bending Moment Diagrams.
I,ve completed it but I think I,m going wrong somewhere. The diagrams do not look correct. I suspect I,ve possibly got positive/negative values mixed up somewhere through it but I,m not totally sure. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

See attachment for the question & my workings.

your initial diagram does not show the pin at C.
The frames are spaced 4.8 m apart , so the wind pressure must be multiplied by the frame spacing to get the horizontal frame load in units of kN/m.
Otherwise your approach looks good, but you had an incorrect moment arm for that 10.6 N load ...should be 16 m not 8 m.
When you draw shear and moment diagrams, there must be a moment at the upper corner joints, not 0 as you have shown. The horiz and vert members are rigidly connected at those joints.
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
