Homework Statement
Hi there, I've been having problems with this kind of truss in the attached file. I'm used to resolving forces where the supports are located along the same x-axis, but this time I have the supports on the y-axis and a point load in the same direction. I haven't shown it, but there is a pin joint located at joint A and C. I would like to just simply know if my method is the correct solution.
Homework Equations
See attached file.
The Attempt at a Solution
Firstly I resolved the forces for the reactions at the support in the x direction using the moment of equilibrium equation around joint A. However, I can't seem to find a logical solution for resolving the reactions in the y direction, but upon further analysis I don't think this is entirely necessary, since I'm able to resolve the internal forces without these reaction forces. Have a made a mistake in my analysis?
Thank you forum :)
