Follow-up Question

Why is the answer 5.916 instead of 6.928? Because shouldn't the maximum force be equal to the maximum value of P?

Follow-up Question

Why do you have to solve for the other joints? Can't you just do Sum of Forces in Y direction for point D, and then sub in the 8 and 6, and then see which one is the smaller value to get the correct answer?
