Assume that member (1) controls. Substitute F1=554.4 kN into the equilibrium equations and solve for F2 and P.

Fx=F1 cos(49.3)+F2 cos(24.9)=0

Fy=F1 sin(49.3)-F2 sin(24.9)-P=0

 

The figure shows the free body diagram for joint B. The load P is directed downwards along the negative y axis. The force F subscript 1 is directed to the top right at an angle of 49.3 degrees with respect to the positive x axis. The force F subscript 2 is directed to the bottom right at an angle of 24.9 degrees below the positive x 
	axis.

The following values are obtained from this calculation:

F2=-398.6 kNP =588.1 kN

The figure shows a diagonal member labeled 1 and a horizontal member labeled fixed to a column on the right at the points A on top and C below. The diagonal member runs between 
points A and B and the horizontal member runs between the points B and C. Joint B is at a distance of 4.3 meters to the left 
of A and 5 meters below A. Joint C is at a distance of 7 meters directly below A. The load at joint B is labeled P and it is 
directed downwards.
