Hey all!
I have a project question I'm struggling on:
The rigid structure ABD in Figure 1 is supported at B by a 35-mm-diameter tie rod (1)
and at A by a 30-mm-diameter pin used in a single shear connection. The tie rod is
connected at B and C by 24-mm diameter pins used in double shear connections. Tie
rod H has yield strength of 250 MPa, and each of the pins has ultimate shear strength
of 330 MPa. A concentrated load of P = 50 kN acts at D. Determine:
(a) The normal stress in rod (1).

My main problem is I am unsure where to place the reaction forces with regards to pins so that I can use moments and forces in the x and y direction to determine the force in the rod. Once i know this I can find the stress in the rod.
Any help would be great!
