Problem #2

Given: The structure shown below.

Required:

  1. Draw free body diagrams for points A, B and C.
  2. Determine the reactions at points A, B and C.
### Diagram Description The image depicts a mechanical system involving a wall, two support points, and a force. The system is oriented within a two-dimensional coordinate plane marked by axes \(x\) and \(y\). #### Components: - **Points**: - **A**: Located at the bottom left, where a vertical force is applied. - **B**: Middle point on the wall. - **C**: Upper point on the wall. - **Vectors and Forces**: - A force of **2.5 kN** is acting downward at point **A**. - Rods or cables are running from point **A** to points **B** and **C** on the wall. - **Dimensions**: - The horizontal distance from point **A** to the wall (along the x-axis) is **1.5 meters**. - The vertical distance from point **B** to point **C** on the wall is **0.65 meters**. - The vertical distance from the base of the wall to point **B** is **0.35 meters**. #### Coordinate Axes: - **x-axis**: Extends horizontally to the right from the wall. - **y-axis**: Extends vertically upward from point **A**. This diagram illustrates the load distribution and alignment of structural components necessary for understanding forces and stresses in a static structure. It is useful for analyzing the equilibrium of systems, helping students learn about mechanics and engineering principles.
