 There can be no horizontal reaction at the base of the right-hand

column because there is a pin at its top. Therefore, there can be no
horizontal reaction in the left-hand column. Therefore, there is no bending
in either column.

weight.

Incorrect

Mark -0.33 out

of 1.00

Select one:
a. 20 kNm

b. 45 kNm

c. 40 kNm  To solve this, split the structure at the pin and solve
separately. Then use the shear force diagram to calculate the position of
the point of contraflexure in the left column, where the maximum moment
occurs. Think carefully about your reactions.
