Engineering Practice Problem for a Pin-Connected Frame

[engineerintraining]

Homework Statement

Stuck on solving this practice problem for the pin connected frame

Relevant Equations

2D Equilibrium, Fx, Fy, M

Have identified what i need to find, but not sure how to proceed since there is a pin in the centre, do I treat it as two separate structures?

Welcome to PF.

Per the PF Rules, you need to show your work before we can help. So yes, start by treating it as two separate structures and show the FBDs please. Thank you.

this is what I have, then based on this i was thinking that i could assume this:

Does that look right?

Sure. That is the force equilibrium for the right part. What else can you deduce?
