Write the augmented matrix for the system by combining the force-balance equation and the moment-balance equation, with an extra line at the top to show which unknown is associated with each column. You will need to add some zeros since Fox , Fry Dy , and FDZ don't appear in the moment balance equation. F FB Fox Fpy FDZ 1 6 0 1 0 0 N 540 -250 -3 0 2 0 1 0 + Suocos30 7 2 7 0 0 0 1 0 0 - 1897 0 0 -
