In summary: I'll go try again to solve the problem on my own.In summary, the author is having trouble solving a problem that has one line to be read. He is asking for help, but does not seem to understand what he needs to do.

I have read yet the siticky post of Tom, so you have to be able to solve my problem anyway. :biggrin:

Please see the .jpg attached below.
I've got angry due to this problem. I am not able to identify the reaction forces in A and C points of this structure. The structure have two co-lineal forces F applied in each point A-C. It has two beams of length L welded at B point, one of them simply supported in A, and the other has a simply supporting that can be carried along the horizontal surface.

I want to know the force reactions Va, Ha, and Vc. I've tried it, but I find problems that will be mentioned in future posts if you help me.

Your 100$ would be sent from Spain by car up to Oporto. Then I'll put it into a merchant ship, the ship will travel to Honk-Kong, passing Singapore, Sydney and Moscow. In Moscow a MIG21 will take the 100$ and when passing onto your air-space, it will release it into a capsule. This capsule will land just inside your bathroom by means of a parachute. Ok?.

Thanks.

People will not be eager to respond to your question if you offer money in the title line. That's not what this forum is about.

You mean you read the "stickety" post but did not understand it?

Attempt the problem yourself, show us what you have done and where, precisely, you are having trouble.

"Your 100$ would be sent from Spain by car up to Oporto. Then I'll put it into a merchant ship, the ship will travel to Honk-Kong, passing Singapore, Sydney and Moscow.

Is this another exercise? We are expected to work out how long this will take?

I'm sorely tempted to answer just to see all the fun when a mig-21 from Moscow flies low enough to spot my house in Washington, D.C.!

I don't hope all of you have the same sense of humour of Sirus. What the hell have you took for breakfast?.

Ok, I think you are worth of a medal: the most bored. :zzz:

Be sure. I'm not ten years old. Anyway, I've checked how do you help to people. The problem has only one line to be read, apart of the drawing:

"The structure have two co-lineal forces F applied in each point A-C. It has two beams of length L welded at B point, one of them simply supported in A, and the other has a simply supporting that can be carried along the horizontal surface.

I want to know the force reactions Va, Ha, and Vc".

This is the type of helping do you provide?. Or do I have to send you a burned part of my brain, caused by thinking of this problem? Give me your postal adress..

It is impossible to specify where I have problems in such a short exercise. But, if you don't understand it be honest and put it across. I'll clear it up very very kindly.

Do you know what "co-linear forces are? Do you know what "simply supported" means and what equations that gives you? Those are all things you could tell us about "where you have problems". I am pretty sure that the problem is NOT what you just wrote- "the other has a simply supporting that can be carried along the horizontal surface" makes no sense. A "simply supporting" what? And what is meant by "carried along the horizontal surface".

If you do not understand anything about the problem the best thing you can do is go to your teacher and tell him/her that.

I've gone for a walk, and I came here again thinking of editing my last post, thinking I was so rude with you. But viewing your answer I'm not going to do that.

REFERENCE: "Engineering Vibration". D.J. Inman.
Page: 354. Figure 6.15, caption: "The vibration model is simplified to be that of a harmonic force applied to the center of a SIMPLY SUPPORTED beam".
The figure has the same symbol (a triangle) as I draw in my picture.

It seems Mr. Inman and I are the only two men in the world that know what on Earth that's mean. Sure, I'll ask to my teacher and never use my politeness to ask for helping here.

Anyway, thanks for your attention.
 

1. What is the purpose of structure forces in science?

Structure forces refer to the forces that hold matter together and determine the shape and stability of structures. These forces are important in understanding the behavior and properties of different materials and structures.

2. How can understanding structure forces benefit my research or experiments?

Understanding structure forces can help you predict the behavior of materials and structures under different conditions, which is crucial for designing and conducting experiments. It can also aid in the development of new materials and structures with improved properties.

3. What are the different types of structure forces?

The four main types of structure forces are tension, compression, shear, and bending. Tension forces act to pull structures apart, compression forces push structures together, shear forces slide one part of a structure over another, and bending forces cause structures to bend or flex.

4. How do I calculate structure forces?

Calculating structure forces involves using various equations and principles from physics, such as Newton's laws of motion and Hooke's law. The specific calculations will depend on the type of structure and the forces acting on it.

5. Can I use structure forces to explain natural phenomena?

Yes, structure forces play a crucial role in explaining many natural phenomena, such as the formation of mountains, the stability of buildings, and the movement of tectonic plates. They are also important in understanding the behavior of living organisms, such as the forces that allow us to walk and move our limbs.
