Can I ask why didn't you use the equations of equilibrium? With those equations you are able to use previously taught concepts throughout the Hibbler textbook and continue to build off of each other. I'm just trying to understand your perspective/thought process on why you decided to approach this problem this way. Thank you for taking the time to work through this problem. - Angel Vargas
Because the force being applied has a negative value. Either way positive and negative really dont matter in your FBD's so long as you keep your positive and negative values consistent with up down left and right
I'm sure you know by now lol, but there are two diagonals acting on point C so each diagonal has an x component acting on C. In this case each x component happen to be the same since they each have the same magnitude and triangle. So if you add up each x component (or multiply one of them by 2) you get 180.
I think I explained clearly in the video, if you have a specific question or a certain part of the video is confusing for you, please provide the time frame or detailed questions.
@@TheEngineeringWei It actually wasn't explained clearly in the video personally. Howcome the direction of Fac changes from Joint A to Joint C? Went from pointing to Joint A to pointing to Joint C
Force DF should be under tension, not compression like you wrote

Awesome vid, really helped me understand working with trusses
what is that 120lb in 1:26
Around 3 minutes in when solving AB, why was 130*(5/13) positive. Because of the way the 130 lb force is pointing, shouldn't it be negative?

7:02 I still dont get why 150 x 3/5 multiplied by two

Compression is (-) and tension is (+).
How to figure out the direction of forces? I am kind of Confused.

i think you really just have to imagine which direction a force should be so it can achieve equilibrium

@@TheEngineeringWei You typed all that out but you coulda just answered his question dawg
@@DynamicHasan100 He just wanted to know what part of the video to explain so he doesn't just restate the whole video in a comment...
