Procedure: 1- Define your Cartesian system. 2- Identify the structure's supports and the type of structure (2D) or 3D 3- If the structure has more than one element dismember the structure and draw free body diagram (show all actions and reactions) on each element independently. Tip: Pulley is a member Rope is not an element because it is flexible, but it shows the force (substitute it with a force) If the Structure has one element draw free body diagram for the element. Tips to show forces on the free body diagram: 3.1- Determine the type of the supports 3.2- Show the unknown support reactions with any assumed direction, BUT you cannot change the assumed force direction once you decide. 3.3- In a common joint, you can decide on the force direction in one element, however, in the other one you need to follow the Newton's 3rd law and show the opposite direction. 3.4- If you have multiple action forces in the system, find force components for each force independently. Use Sin/Cos/Tan…
