You need to analyze a 3D beam with two ball-and-socket style supports.  Each support is capable of applying force in three orthogonal directions.  Neither support can apply a moment.   9. How would you approach your analysis?   Group of answer choices The beam is over-constrained, so there are more unknown forces and moments due to support reactions than available equations of equilibrium. Conditions of equilibrium are not sufficient to analyze the beam. Apply conditions of equilibrium to determine support reactions. The beam is unstable and cannot be analyzed using conditions of equilibrium.
