Chapter 5.7, Problem 2PP

Draw the free-body diagram of each object.

To determine

To draw: The free body diagram for the given beams.

Answer to Problem 2PP

The free body diagram of the given beams.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

• The given plate has rocket at A and B.
• It has a fixed support at C.
• It carries a point load of 300 N.
• The given pipe assembly has pinned support at A, B, and C.
• It carries a load of 500 N.
• The given object has fixed support at B.
• It has a roller support at A.
• It carries a load of 400 N.

Show the indicated parameters of free body diagram as in Table (1).

Type of beam	Support condition	Reaction about z direction	Vertical reaction	Horizontal reaction	Moment/Force/tension
Plate.	Roller support at A.	$A_z$	-	-	-
	Roller support at B.	$B_z$	-	-	-
	Fixed support at C.	$C_z$	$C_y$	$C_x$	-
	Load.				300 N.
Beam.	Pinned support at A.	-	$A_y$	$A_x$	-
	Pinned support at B.	$B_z$	$B_y$	-	-
	Pinned support at C.	$C_z$	$C_y$	-	-
	Load.	-	-	-	500 N
Overhanging beam.	Fixed support at B.	$B_z$	$B_y$	$B_x$	$\left(\begin{array}{l}{M}_x,M_y,\\ and{M}_z\end{array}\right)$
	Roller at support A.	$A_z$	-	-	-
	Load.	-	-	-	400 N

Conclusion:

Show the free body diagram of the object as in Figure (1).

Show the free body diagram of the object as in Figure (2).

Show the free body diagram of the object as in Figure (3).

Therefore, the free body diagrams of the given objects are shown in Figure (1) to (3).
