1. In the structure shown below members ABC and BDE are assumed to be solid rigid members. Member BDE is supported by a roller at point E, and is pinned to member ABC at point B. Member ABC is pinned to the wall at point A. Member ABC is a aluminum rod with a diameter of 1 inch. For this structure: How many reaction forces are in joints A and E
For A two reaction forces and for E one
Two reaction forces for each one
Draw a Free Body Diagram showing all support forces and loads.
2. In the structure shown below member ABCD a solid rigid member pinned to the wall at A, and supported by steel cable CE. Cable CE is pinned to the wall at E and has a diameter of 1 inch. For this structure:
Draw a Free Body Diagram showing all support forces and loads.
