4)

Draw the FBDs of the pulley at E, C and B;

Draw the FBD of the component DB only;
Draw the FBD of the component ABC only;
Draw the FBD of the whole structure with the cable but without W.

Problem 2:
The frame is pined at B with a smooth support at A and a rigid connection at C. Determine the
reactions at the smooth support A and the pin support B.

Problem 3:
The compound beam is fixed at A and supported by a roller at B and C. There are pins at D and
E. 1) Draw all FBDs for your calculation; 2) Determine the reactions at the supports A, B and C
for both case (a) and (b); 3) Draw the internal force diagrams for axial force, N, shear force, V,
and bending moment, M for bothe case (a) and (b).
