in the sense that the section CB is a regulation tie rod therefore subject to two equal and opposite forces applied to the ends plus we have the force F applied in B (which is a hinge as the text says) which is unknown to determine. Since B is a hinge it will have two components
the text says that B is a tie rod and you have to calculate the loads on C and B, interpreting that on CB there is a horizontal force HB. This is what I reasoned.
my doubt is that since the tie rod CB is a regulation one, only a horizontal force acts, therefore in B since it is a hinge there is the reaction Hb. Reasoning like this, however, I have 3 unknowns in 2 equations with the statics.
the only thing that doesn't make sense to me is the binding reaction in B since there is a hinge and since it is a regulation tie rod, shouldn't there be an unknown reaction in B?
In the above solution the CB section with the constraint reactions is missing and then I thought that by exploding the structure the force F is divided into F/2 in the two parts.
