I'm trying to solve a mechanical problem in Mathcad, but some of the initial values are not getting accepted. Can you please help me finding the problem?
At least one of the problems in your sheet lies with the definition of Mh2(x).
In there you probably wanted to multyply Ay with (x-a), but you entered it as the function Ay with (x-a) as its argument. The same goes for p1 and (x-a). You must explicitly enter the multiplication operator in both cases.
Like this:
Another problem lies with the fact that you constrain v(a) to be equal to 0, and a little further you constrain it to be equal to v2(a). I should expect that's the problem that is flagged, as shown in your picture.
Success!
