Problem 1.6.1 Static Determinacy
Consider the following combination object made of light materials i.e., ignore any weights with
two external forces applied
Point Ais the centre of the bottom of the golden vertical beam, located at the origin, where that
beam is fixed to the ground.
Point Bis the centre of the small fixed-support joint connecting the golden beam to the grey
beam, located atrs=:0.1,1,0:m
Point Cis near the end of the grey beam where cable CDis connected, located at
rc=:1.5,1.05,0:m
Point Dis near the top of the golden beam where the other end of cable CDis attached, located
atrb=:0.05,2,0:m.
Point force F1=1,-3,3N and is applied to the grey beam atr1=1.3,0.95,0.05m
Point force F2=:2,4,0:N and is applied to the grey beam atr2=:0.5,1.05,0:m
aIs this system as a whole externally statically determinate, underdeterminant, or
indeterminant? What about the system of the grey beam alone?
b Determine the reaction force and moment provided by the ground at point A assume the
reaction point force is applied directly at point A
c Determine the reaction force and moment provided to the grey beam by the support at point B if the cable has no tension in it
d Use Newton's third law to check your answers for part b and c
