Learning Goal: To solve for the support reactions of a frame. The frame shown in (Figure 1) is supported by a pin at A and a pin at D. The two members are connected by a pin at C. The dimensions are H₁ = 1.4 m, H₂ = 2.1 m, and L= 1.5 m. The applied force P= 17 kN acts at the midpoint of BC, and the distributed load has intensity w = 2 kN/m. Figure B H₂ A P D H₂ 1 of 3 Since there are more than two loads applied both members, neither is a two-force member. There are four unknown support reactions and only three equilibrium equations for the whole frame, so the reactions cannot be determined without considering each member separately. Then there are six unknown forces (two forces at A, C, and D) and six equilibrium equations (three equations for each member), so all the reactions and the connecting forces at C can be determined. Begin with the free-body diagram for CD shown in (Figure 2). What is the force C₂, assuming the forces act in the directions shown? Express your answer to three significant figures with appropriate units. View Available Hint(s) C₂ = Submit Part B H μA Value Units ? Once Ca is known, use the free-body diagram for ABC shown in (Figure 3) and solve for the vertical force Cy, assuming the forces act in the directions shown. Express your answer to three significant figures with appropriate units. View Available Hint(s) Part C
