Direction of forces at E is known, i.e., 450 to horizontal (along BE). Hence, resolved vertical and horizontal components of force FE are equal i.e. F EX=FEY.. Now balancing horizontal forces: F EX = FCX. Taking moment about E, 1000 × 0.4 -(FCY) × 1.6=0 FCY =250N Now balancing the vertical forces, 250 + FEY - 1000=0 FEY = 750N= FEX Thus the forces at C and E have been calculated. Likewise, other forces can be calculated. |
