I have a little bit of an issue. I am trying to find the reactions on this truss. I know there are x and y at the first and y at the 2nd on the truss. But when I create my moment, do it take the 2500 lb into effect for the rope across the top and side as well? or do i omit those?
My thought would be a Y force of 2500 in the +Y Direction on the left, a +x force of 2500 at the top and a -Y force of 2500 on the right? Is that correct?
The only reason I ask is when I compute the moment at point a using the numbers I have, my Y reaction at A and B are the same and HUGE (over 10k) and my X component at A is 2500.
(Sorry the pic isn't that great. I don't have a scanner to show the actual problem but this is pretty close.)
