SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the calculation of the A-y-component value, which is determined to be 175N by taking moments at point C. The user expresses confusion regarding the inability to derive this value using the F-y component set to 0. It is clarified that in member BDC, the Cy component aligns with the Dy component, resulting in equal magnitudes, which complicates the equilibrium analysis. The user plans to revisit the calculations for accuracy.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of static equilibrium principles
  • Familiarity with moment calculations in mechanics
  • Knowledge of vector components in force analysis
  • Experience with structural analysis of trusses
NEXT STEPS
  • Review static equilibrium conditions in mechanics
  • Study moment calculation techniques in structural analysis
  • Learn about vector resolution of forces in two dimensions
  • Explore common mistakes in calculating force components
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in engineering, particularly those focused on structural mechanics and static analysis, will benefit from this discussion.

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.
