Determine reactions at supports:
(2kN
Step 1: Draw FBD at pulley and solve for forces in each cable
Step 2: Draw FBD of member ABC and solve for reactions at A and B.
Pin at A resists two components: FAx and FAy
Since member BD is a two-force member, pin at B can be replaced with FBD along member BD
Left cable of the pulley at C is replaced with 6 kN force facing down
Right cable of the pulley at C is replaced with 6 kN force facing down AND 6 kN force facing left. Note that since radius of the pulley is 0.3 m , force facing down is 0.3 m to the right of point C
Determine reactions at supports: ( 2 kN Step 1 :
