Thanks for the replies.
The vertical cantilever is a support post. (100x100mm box to be precise) I have calculated the max. deflection and bending stresses in this due to the 5032N force acting on this.
I realise that the wide flange section is not much good in torsion, but for the loading...
Hi,
Possibly a simple analysis:
I have a hinged cantilever support (see pic) supporting a 5032 N end load. The 45deg support strut experiences a 7117N tensile load and I have sizes this to suit.
My question, lies at the hinge pin. What forces will this hinge pin experience? I presume it will...
