Problem 440 For the frame loaded as shown in Figure P-440, determine the horizontal and vertical components of the pin pressure at B. Specify directions (up or down; left or right) of the force as it acts upon member CD.
Solution 440
$\Sigma M_A = 0$
$2D_V = 1(20) + 3(30)$
$D_V = 55 ~ \text{kN upward}$
From the FBD for Member CD
$\Sigma F_V = 0$
$B_V = 55 ~ \text{kN downward}$ answer
$\Sigma M_D = 0$
$2B_H = 3(30)$
$B_H = 45 ~ \text{kN to the right}$ answer
