b) When in the depot, frame ABCD must support the truck over the maintenance trench. The
wheels are positioned at F (front) and R (rear) on the frame. Determine the reactions for the
frame at pin supports A and B, and for rollers C and D. Use your calculated values from a) for
the wheel loads. (HINT: Think about the direction of the forces from the truck! - equal and
opposite).
