Homework Statement
i am asked to find the reaction at A and B ...
Here's my working :
15(3/2) +15(5) +15(6)+5(6/2)=RA +RB
moment about A = 15(3/2)(3x2/3) + (15)(5)(8) + (5x6/2)(8+4) + (15)(6)(14) -RB(14) = 0
so , i have my RB=148.9N , RA= 53.5N , which is wrong ? which part of my working is nt correct?
i have 15(3/2)(3x2/3) because the centroid is located 2/3 of 3m from the triangle .
I have (5x6/2)(8+4) because the centroid is located 8+(6x2/3) from A
