Problem -
  1. The T-shaped bracket shown is supported by a small wheel at E and pegs at C and D. Neglecting the effect of friction, determine the reactions at C, D, and E when the angle is 30 degrees.

    I have taken the moment about E, and gotten a result for all the reactions. However, in the solutions it says that i should be taking the moment about D.
    I don't understand what the difference is between picking one point or the other.
    Please refer to the two attached pictures. Thank you

See template for homework section.
You did not show neither the problem nor your solution.

For a system in equilibrium, you can sum moments about any point = 0, but you can simplify the number of steps and reduce chances for errors when summing moments about a selectively chosen point. You might want to first solve for Ex and Ey, then sum moments about D (or C) to see how this works.
