AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on analyzing the joint reactions at point A under a 600N horizontal force. It is concluded that the joint has two reactions: a vertical reaction, which is determined to be zero, and a horizontal reaction of 600N directed to the left. Concerns are raised about the simplicity of the problem, suggesting the possibility of overlooking factors such as inertia. The participant seeks confirmation on the accuracy of their calculations and understanding of the joint reactions. Overall, the analysis emphasizes the importance of considering all forces acting on the joint.

The Attempt at a Solution



From how I see this question, the joint at A has two reactions, one vertical and the other horizontal. The vertical one is zero, and the horizontal one should be 600N left. However, I got the feeling that I might have miss something. Did I do anything wrong? since the question looked too simple
