Hi Dr. Hanson i just wanna say God bless you and thank you for your effort.

[georgesadler]

DR. Hanson, thank you for another fantastic example on Fixed Support 2D Reaction Force. These problems are not too difficult to solve for the average student in Statics.

i think of your little jingle everytime " if the forces are in the x-direction in the y"

[samuelrusch]

Great example working the pulleys in there too. Thanks!

[Iskjg]

Shouldn't the tension of the cable exert an upward force on the pulley at point B?

[Iskjg]

Shouldn't the tension of the cable at point B generate an upward force on the pulley?

[itaachiii]

for the momentum, in the first force why did we take the vertical 1.8inch distance and not the hori 3inch like for the second one??

[alkhapidzjabarani]

im a little bit confuse if the assumption about the moment was correct since we got a positive moment. positive moments are in CCW direction

[nono-ijqu]

I have only one question;
Isn't there another force on the pulley B, caused by the rope's tension?
Is it negligible, or anything else?

[Gsr_automotive]

but why aren't there x and y reactions at the pulleys?

[mrlong]

What happened with the radius of each pulley? Useless information?

[haliltarbak]

bro you should turn the volume of intro down

[hashirowais]

if you assume the direction of the reaction to be the wrong way and you get a negative answer. Should you leave it as a negative answer?
