### Problem Statement **4-2) Find the magnitude and direction of the support forces at A and B and the resultant moment.** ### Diagram Description - The diagram shows a rectangular structure with two forces applied. - Force 1: 500 lbs directed downward, located at a point three feet from the bottom left corner (point A). - Force 2: 300 lbs directed to the right, located at a point two feet from the bottom right corner (point B). - The dimensions of the rectangle are labeled: 8 feet in length and 4 feet in height. ### Sections for Solution - **Free Body Diagram** A blank space for drawing the free body diagram of the given structure, indicating all relevant forces, dimensions, and points of support. - **Hand Calculations** A section with lined space for detailed hand calculations. This section is used to derive the magnitude and direction of the support forces and the resultant moment mathematically. - **Balanced Free Body Diagram** A blank space for sketching the balanced free body diagram after computing the support forces, ensuring that the system is in equilibrium. This setup encourages the student to analyze the forces and moments acting on a structure, compute unknowns using equilibrium equations, and visually validate the solution with free body diagrams.
