Question: Given the frame shown in figure a , assume the frame is pin - connected at A and has a roller support at D .

Given the frame shown in figure a, assume the frame is pin-connected at A and has a roller support at D. The reactions at A and D are provided in the figure.
a. For frame member AB, identify the unknown internal loadings at end B. Draw the free body diagram (FBD) for AB and explain how to choose the coordinates when writing
the equations of equilibrium to solve for the unknown loadings at end B.(10 pts)
b. Using the provided FBD (see fig. b) for member BC, write the equations of equilibrium needed to solve for the unknown internal loadings (i.e. loads at end C of frame
member BC).(10 pts)
c. Assuming you have written the equations of equilibrium (given below) in order to solve internal moment at mid-point of member AB, solve the equations for the shear V
and moment M at mid-section of AB.(5 pts)
