Hi All,
I have a really simple FBD problem though its been a while since I have had to do them so I was wondering if somebody would be so kind as to check my logic. FBD attached. I have a component that is subjected to a couple Tc and is restrained in two places P1 & P2. I want to work out what the reactions are on P1 & P2 so forces F1 & F2 respectively. Note that I have neglected self weight of the part as it is insignificant compared to the coupling forces. My method is to take the sum about to places firstly at P1 to give me F2 than about O to give me F1. Is this the correct approach to the problem ?. Any help welcome.
