Click For Summary
An inductor can be treated as a current source under specific conditions, typically when it is in a steady-state DC circuit. The discussion revolves around understanding the equivalent circuit representation of an inductor and its behavior in relation to current flow. Participants seek clarification on the original circuit configuration and the reasoning behind the equivalent circuits presented. The importance of accurately depicting the circuit elements and their interactions is emphasized for proper analysis. Overall, the conversation highlights the need for clear circuit diagrams to facilitate better understanding of inductor behavior.

Welcome to the PF.anon1111112 said:
Can you post the original circuit for the problem? Is it just the source voltage and R1 with an inductor in series? Or is there more to it?
And can you describe how you arrived at your first and second equivalent circuits?
TL;DR: determine the internal force of member OA
Hi I'm struggling with this problem. I have calculated the angle to be 45 degrees with tan(theta) = a/a. A is a roller which only has Ay and O has Ox & Oy as a fixed pin. (see fbd.png) is my FBD correct?
