The light boom AB is attached to a vertical wall by a ball and socket joint at A and supported by two cables at B. A force P is applied at B where P = 20i - 14j kN.Note that the reaction force at A acts along the boom because it is a two-force member.

Axial Load

When a bar of the uniform cross-section is acted by a load, such that the load acts along the longitudinal axis of the bar, such kinds of loadings are known as axial loadings. In general terms, a load is an external force acting on a component. An axial load acts perpendicular to the geometric cross-section of the component. Based on the direction of the application of the load, an axial load can be tensile or compressive. The analysis of bodies under the action of axial loads is generally studied under the branch of mechanics, known as statics.
