Simple moments ! Can't do ! Urgent

Homework Statement



Determine the reactions at the smooth collar A, the rocker B and the shortlink CD.

Homework Equations


RC = Normal reaction at smooth collar A.
RN = Normal reaction at rocker B.
RD = Normal reaction at D.
Moment at rocker B is given to be 4KN.
All distance shown in the diagram(made in paint) are in meters.


The Attempt at a Solution



The equations I made are :-
Taking moments at B...
(RCsin45*10) + (2.5cos60*3) + (4) = (RCcos45*3) + (RD*3) + (2.5sin60*6)
Forces...
RCcos45 = RD + 2.5cos60
RCsin45 + RN = 2.5sin60

The answer I get is wrong after calculating. Where does the error lie?

Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
