A Uniform 9328N bar is supported at points A and B as Shown
A Uniform 9328-N bar is supported at points A and B as Shown in the figure. A force of 189.4 N is applied directly in the middle of the bar at C. (A stationary wall is along the left side) Determine the vectors A and B.
All other answers used some questionable formulas, would love if someone could go step by step using the formulas for stable equilibrium
Solution
Here ,
mass of bar , W = 9328 M
FC = 189.4 N
balancing the moment of forces about A
FB * cos(45) * L - (9328 - 189.4) * L/2 = 0
FB = 6462 N
the vector B is 6462 N
balancing the forces in vertical direction
FA + 189.4 + 6462 * cos(45) - 9328 = 0
FA = 4569 N
the force vector A is 4569 N
