Question
Please note of the following reminders:
  1. Always show diagrams where necessary. Eg. you're using a dimension, say x1, in calculating a moment. draw the diagram that shows what x1 is. For equilibrium problems this should be in the form of the free body diagram.
  2. Show your solutions, no shortcuts.
  3. For forces/moments, show in the final answer the direction of the force (use arrows) and moments ( CW/CCW or arrows). you can also just indicate +/- if you indicate the positive sense in the beginning of the solutions. Also don't forget units and box/underline the final answer.
