Expert Solution

Step 1
When force and moment equations are sufficient to find the member reactions and support reaction, then the member is called statically determinate.
if insufficient, then called as statically indeterminate
for stability of a structure
- if all the support reactions are parallel to each other then the member is unstable
- if in a structure, if all the forces are collinear then the member is unstable.
