• Reactions equivalent to a
force with known line of
action.
• Reactions equivalent to a
force of unknown direction
and magnitude.
• Reactions equivalent to a
force of unknown
direction and magnitude
and a couple.of unknown
magnitude
Fy = 0 : Ay − 9.81 kN − 23.5 kN = 0
Ay = +33.3 kN
R2 = + 8 kN
R1 = 2.5 kN
• Create a free-body diagram
• Determine the cable tension.
Wx = +(25 kN ) cos 25
= +22.65 kN F x = 0 : + 22.65 kN − T = 0
Ax = +238.50 N
Ay = +1832.45 N
• Create a free-body diagram for
the frame and cable.
M A = 0 : M A + (600N) cos10(6m) − (375N) cos 20
(6m) = 0
M A = +1431.00N.m

Since there are only 5 unknowns, 3 2
the sign is partially constrain. It is = TEC − 7 i + 7 j + 7 k
