Jib sizing

Hello, I'm currently on an internship, and I have to size a stem. My problem is that I can't divide my structure properly. With a recess at point A and a force of 50 kg at point C.

 

Hello Ben,

What's your question?

at least one odds would be nice I think

or you start with a hypothesis 

to calculate the force of 50Kg at the axis

we need the length  B ; D

@+

the distance BD is 1300 mm and the distance AB is 2000 mm

Which software?

What do you mean by dividing?

What material?

Which profile?

look on the net there is the RDM6 software which is simple and allows you to do this kind of size

divide the structure into elements, so 4

and why 4 elements

with 3 it also does it without problem

in addition a mass of 50 kg in the center with a reach of 1300 mm

a 20*20 tube should be enough

Yes, but how can we prove it

Yes, but how can we prove it

You abuse a little it seems to me

you are an intern in a company you are asked to size a jib crane

it seems quite simple to me

We give you x search ref to find your shortcomings

it's been 24 hours and not the slightest evolution on your side

If you are an intern in this company it may also be that you are in the same sector of activity

at least that was the case at one time

So try to start something at work man

We're not here to do the job for you but to help

yes I understand your reaction, thank you for your help, it's just that I couldn't divide my stem properly.

You have a Vertical x height pole  

you have a horizontal beam of length 1300

another that serves as a tie rod with a well-defined angle

you have your angles 

So deducing the missing sides is pretty basic

Simple elementary line geometry
