1. Horizontal and vertical components of reaction for Solar collector

2. Specifications solar collector

4. m x g = 2,55 x 9,81= 25,0 N m x g = 106 x 9,81= 1040 N Fa Fy Fx Fb 45°

5. Calculations in ideal situation: -no wind -no snow on solar collector -no flexion For equilibrium of the rigid body in 2D: ∑Fx = 0 ∑Fy = 0 ∑M = 0 ∑Fx = Fax + Fbx - 735,4 – 17,7 = 0 Fax + Fbx = 753,1 N ∑Fy = Fay + Fby- 735,4 – 17,7 = 0 Fay + Fby = 753,1 N ∑Ma = (74 + 1727) xFbx– (39 + 863,5) x 735,4 = 0 Fbx= 368, 5 N Fax= 384,6 N Fay = 753,1 / 2 = 376,6 N Fby= 753,1 / 2 = 376,6 N
