AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the difficulty in reconciling the A-y-component value of 175N with the F-y component being zero. Participants note that the Cy component in member BDC aligns with the Dy component, suggesting they share the same magnitude. This alignment raises questions about the resultant forces and equilibrium in the system. The original poster expresses uncertainty about the correctness of their calculations and plans to review them later. The conversation highlights the complexities of analyzing forces in static equilibrium scenarios.

After separate the diagram to several parts, I can only find the value of A-y-component = 175N by taking moment at C. But how come I can't get that value if I use F-y component = 0??

Yes i know what you mean. In the 2nd member BDC, the Cy component has the same line of action as the Dy component by the disk, therefore making it has the same magnitude or modulus. Looks like a non-null resultant, like there's no equilibrium.

I will check again later, in case i miscalculated.

I will have to get back to you with a proper answer later today or tomorrow, i have some work plans that require my inmediate attention.

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...
