Question

What is the moment at the joint C shown in the figure below?

• A. \( \frac{M}{2} \)
• B. \( \frac{M}{3} \)
• C. \( \frac{M}{6} \)
• D. \( \frac{M}{8} \)

Hint:

When solving for moments in structures, apply equilibrium equations to the entire system and use the moment arms to calculate the moment at each point.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To calculate the moment at joint C, use the principles of static equilibrium. By considering the moment arms and applying the equilibrium equations, the moment at joint C is \( \frac{M}{6} \). Hence, the correct answer is \( \frac{M}{6} \).
