For what value m of the clockwise couple will the horizontal component ax of the pin reaction at a be zero? if a couple of that same magnitude m were applied in a counterclockwise direction, what would be the value of ax?

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. Below is the answer:

sum of Mc = 0 = -Ay(4.2 + 3cos(59)) + (275)(2.1 + 3cos(59)) + M 
- Ay = (M + (275(2.1 + 3cos(59)))/(4.2 + 3cos(59)) 

sum of Ma = 0 = (-275)(2.1) - Cy(4.2 + 3cos(59)) + M 
- Cy = (M - (2752.1))/(4.2 + 3cos(59)) 

Ay + Cy = 275 = ((M+1002.41)+(M-577.5))/(5.745) 
= (2M + 424.91)/(5.745) 

M = ((275*5.745) - 424.91)/2 
= 577.483 which rounds off to 577 

Is it maybe supposed to be Ay - Cy = 275
