Help finding the vertical component of the reaction at C

[QUOTE="Steve4Physics, post: 6391964, member: 681522"] Hi. Method is fine but pay attention to detail. E.g. Don't use 'a' for 'A' (as in 'Ma'). Don't forget to say MA equals 0. Personally I would just say 'moments about A' rather than 'MA'. So it would be clearer to write the equation as (for example): 1.5kN(7m) - Ay(15.5m) = 0 (moments about A) I would use one or two additional significant figures for intermediate-step answers (e.g. Ay = 0.6774kN). This reduces accumulated rounding errors in later steps. Round final answers as appropriate at the end. [/QUOTE]
