For the second part is it just asking for the 3 forces on BD from BA? The wording is a bit convoluted.
I believe that it's asking for the force at E. But I agree the wording is convoluted.
I also think it is asking for the force at E since that would be the point where the two parts are in contact with each other
I came across the same question, glad I wasn't the only one but yeah force at E seems logical.
Is the purpose of the sphere at the bottom to exhibit a roller support, i.e. a point of contact with only a vertical reaction?
Yes
I believe we should treat it as a three-dimensional equivalent to a roller support.
Hi! When will the solution video for this HW problem be released? It doesn't show up on my screen even though this problem was already due. Thank you!
