Problem #2
Given: The structure shown below.
Required:
- Draw free body diagrams for points A, B and C.
- Determine the reactions at points A, B and C.

Transcribed Image Text:### 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.
