Support Reactions
• If a support prevents the
translation of a body in a
given direction, then a
force is developed on
the body in that direction.
• If rotation is prevented,
a couple moment is
exerted on the body.

Solution
Free-Body Diagram:
• Support at A is a fixed wall
• Three forces acting on the beam at A denoted as Ax,
Ay, Az, drawn in an arbitrary direction
• Unknown magnitudes of these vectors
• Assume sense of these vectors
• For a uniform beam,
Weight, W = 100(9.81) = 981 N
acting through beam’s center of gravity, 3 m from A

Two-Force Members
• When forces are applied at only two points on a
member, the member is called a two-force member
• Only force magnitude must be determined
Three-Force Members
• When subjected to three forces, the forces are
concurrent or parallel

Support Reactions
As in the two-dimensional case:
• A force is developed by a support
• A couple moment is developed when rotation of the
attached member is prevented
• The force’s orientation is defined by the coordinate
angles α, β and γ
Solution
Friction
• Force that resists the movement of two contacting
surfaces that slide relative to one another
• Acts tangent to the surfaces at points of contact with
other body
• Opposing possible or existing motion of the body
relative to points of contact
• Two types of friction – Fluid and Coulomb Friction
