How do I determine the support reactions at A & E in this example?
Help is much appreciated.
Help is much appreciated.
Have you tried writing equations of static equilibrium for this frame?
Have you written equations of static equilibrium for any structure before?
This indicates that the direction in which you assumed the reactions are acting is opposite of the direction in which they act.Right I've worked it out.
I've got E vertical as 50kN.
A horizontal as -30kN, vertical as -50kN.
Only problem is the answers have them listed as these values but I have all of the signs wrong.

∑M = (10 x 3) + (20 x 6) - (E x 3)
