Shouldn't it be Pdc = 22kN rather than Pcd? I mean the 22kN force arrow is pointing towards C? Because Pdc means the P from D to C no?
Double subscript (Force) notation confusion?
Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the correct notation for force representation, questioning whether it should be Pdc = 22kN instead of Pcd, as the force arrow points towards point C. It clarifies that Pdc indicates the force exerted by D on C, while Pcd represents the force from C to D. A free body diagram (FBD) of cut section 3-3 to D is referenced to support this notation. Additionally, it suggests that one could also use Newton's third law to analyze the forces. The conversation emphasizes the importance of accurate force notation in structural analysis.

Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution
I assumed there to be two supernodes. The first one was between V1 and V2. The second supernode was between V2 and V3.
This is what i tried and i am not getting the right answers. Please can someone help me out! Apologies for the turned pictures. The actual answers are V1 =7.608v , V2 =-17.39v , V3 = 1.6305v
