Help with Drawing Momentum with Virtual Method

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a user's difficulty in drawing momentum using the virtual method for a triangular frame under force. Participants suggest posting in the homework forum with a structured template to clarify the problem and facilitate better assistance. There is a focus on understanding the specific moment to be calculated and the axis involved. One contributor expresses frustration with the lack of clarity in the user's initial diagram and emphasizes the importance of properly framing questions. Overall, clear communication and structured inquiries are highlighted as essential for effective help.

Hello guys

I'm struggling a bit with drawing momen/[M_o], to this "frame". I will be using virtual Method.
So, could you you have corrected me if it's wrong?

This is not a forum on abstract visual arts.

I have no idea what the drawing is about.
 
Hello Feeno, :welcome:

My first reaction was comparable to Krylov's. But that doesn't help you, so here are a few tips:
Post in the homework forum and use the template there. It helps you explain what you are doing and helps us estimate how we can help you as good as possible.

You draw a triangluar frame (mass?) that rests on two supports and has a force P applied. And want to find an expression for what moment about what axis ?

Usually I try to be less cynical, but this particular "diagram" reminded me of an expression about throwing a certain substance on the wall and hoping that some of it sticks. Please, if you ask a question, no matter which level, make an effort to ask it properly.

Thread 'Have I solved this structural engineering equation correctly?'
Hi all, I have a structural engineering book from 1979. I am trying to follow it as best as I can. I have come to a formula that calculates the rotations in radians at the rigid joint that requires an iterative procedure. This equation comes in the form of: $$ x_i = \frac {Q_ih_i + Q_{i+1}h_{i+1}}{4K} + \frac {C}{K}x_{i-1} + \frac {C}{K}x_{i+1} $$ Where: ## Q ## is the horizontal storey shear ## h ## is the storey height ## K = (6G_i + C_i + C_{i+1}) ## ## G = \frac {I_g}{h} ## ## C...
