Homework Statement
End A of the bar AB in the figure rests on a frictionless horizontal surface, and end B is hinged. A horizontal force F of magnitude 103 N is exerted on end A. You can ignore the weight of the bar.
A.)What is the horizontal component of the force exerted by the bar on the hinge at B?
B.)What is the vertical component of the force exerted by the bar on the hinge at B?
Homework Equations
for part A.) is 103 because the summation of the forces in the x direction is equal to zero and all you have in the x direction is the force applied and negative force horizontal. So for part B.) the summation of the forces on the y-axis i thought it was just force vertical equal to zero but, well it needs something else. i just don't know what!
The Attempt at a Solution
above is my attepmt i know it is not right. I also am confused by the summation for torque because it says the bar is wiethless. so yeah justa steer in the right direction would be nice thanks.
