Sure, here you go. I split the frame into parts as what the method of sections suggests.

So Bx, Cx and Dx should be zero then? I am not using the method of joints, but the technique for multi-force members.

So for this problem I have already solved for the Y forces: Dy = 171.43 N, Cy = 228.57 N, and By = -428.57 N. For the X forces I split up the frame and took the moment of DE. Me = 1.5(300) + 3.5(300) - 5(Dx), Dx = 300 For CD Dx = -Cx fo I got Cx = 300, as when you forces are two member Dx =...

I tried doing three loops. For the bottom I did 9-I1(1) + I2(1) - I3(10) -12 = 0, for the upper left corner I did 12 - I2(1)- I2(5) = 0, for the upper right corner I did 9 - I1(1) - I1(8) = 0. I came to I1 =1, I2 =2 and I3 = .2. This was incorrect, I don't think I am summing the currents...

Do you honestly think I went through the effort of creating an account and making a post without attempting the problem first? In the post I even said that I set the work divided 2 = to velocity part and got stuck. And somehow I got a strike on my account for getting stuck. My disappointment...

I sent the work divided by two equal to the velocity part of the problem then got stuck.
