structural question please HELP!
Hi all,
new to this physics forum business.
I am wondering if anyone can tell me how to find reaction forces in a structure where there is more than two supports. I am familiar with the conventional method of taking the moment about a point to find one reaction, and then summing forces in the y direction to find the other. But I am unsure where to start if there is more than two unknowns.
Please see the example I have attached.
