Problem 1
Elaborate Problem (20 points): You are part of an engineering team tasked with analyzing the structural integrity of the frame presented below. Your specific task is to determine the support (A, D) and pin-joint (B) reactions for the frame. A diverse team of engineers will possibly read your solution, so we need an extensive summary of the problem and the solution using the following guidelines:
Understanding (short answers; 5 points):
(a) List down the direction and magnitude of all the external forces on the frame.
(b) Illustrate the given problem using a global free-body diagram with proper splits around pin-joint.
Numerical solution (numerical calculation; 10 points):
(a) Determine the horizontal and vertical reactions at the two supports (A, D) and the pin joint (B).
Solution procedure (short answers; 5 points):
(a) Outline, in plain English, a systematic solution procedure that you used in the previous step to determine the horizontal and vertical reactions at the two supports (A,D and the pin joint (B). Please create bullet points for each step and explain all the notations and symbols you used. Please look at the 'Homework Guidelines' for an example.
