1. Draw 2-D a free body diagram showing the applied forces and moments, resultant forces and moments, and important dimensions of the figure given on the board.

2. a) For the figure given on the board, what is the governing differential equation? b) For the differential equation in (a), what are its boundary conditions?

3. For the figure given below, sketch the stresses xx, xy, etc. on the box in the appropriate directions. Use only the faces shown (e.g. +z,+x, and +y) to sketch 9 stresses. y
