Simple moments ! Can't do ! Urgent
Determine the reactions at the smooth collar A, the rocker B and the shortlink CD.
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 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?
