I have started you off at your other post - viewtopic.php?f=10&t=35544 - now it is your turn.

What is your strategy ? - find the reaction forces .

Then do you plan to use section strategy (by sectioning the frame) or point analysis to solve the rest of it?
 
Hi, thanks 4 your help, the forces are in Kn -kilo-newtons(hope thats spelt right). As an overall solution , i will just add up the Kn forces going down and divide by 2. Then i will break up the frame and work out each section(triangle) using, moments, and a free body diagram.
Does that sound right, any more solutions would be appreciated, thanks IVA.

Yes - that sounds right.

Remember, when you deal with planar forces at a point - you can solve only 2 unknowns. So start at one of the support points - where you have only two unknowns. Also take advantage of the symmetry of the problem.
