Finding Dy: Problem & Solution for Part (a) of Question

  • Thread starter smr101
  • Start date
In summary, the problem involves calculating the values of Ay, Dx, and Dy, with given values for Cx and Cy. The solution requires taking moments about A and considering the moment contribution at C for both the X and Y components. The vertical distance of the load acting from the base is needed, which is 1. After taking these factors into account, the solution for Dy can be obtained successfully.

Hi,

I'm looking for help with this question, part (a).

Should be noted that Cx = 10kN and Cy = 17.32kN.

Problem and solution below.

I've calculated Ay and Dx succesfully but I'm having problems getting Dy. Do I need to use moments again, and if so, how?

Thanks.

yes . take moment about A. consider moment contribution at C ...both X and Y.. u need vertical distance of load that act from base.. that would be 1 . so that's it
