Solution
1. Imagine the jib crane A B to be separated or detached from the system.
2. There is a link support at B and the jib crane is (smoothly) pinned at A. Use Table 2.1 (2) and (8) to determine the number
and types of reactions acting on the jib crane at A and B.
3. The jib crane is subjected to four external forces. They are caused by:
i.
iii.
ii.
iv.
4. Draw the free-body diagram of the (detached) crane showing all these forces labeled with their magnitudes and directions.
Assume the sense of the vectors representing the reactions acting on the crane (the correct sense will always emerge from the
equilibrium equations for the crane). Include any other relevant information e.g. lengths, angles etc. which may help when
formulating the equilibrium equations (including the moment equation) for the jib crane.
