Question: Problem 3 ( 2 5 points ) : The beam A B has a negligible mass and thickness and is subjected to a triangular distributed

Problem 3(25 points):
The beam AB has a negligible mass and thickness and is subjected to a triangular distributed loading, as shown in Figure 3. It is supported at one end by a pin and at the other end by a post having a mass of 50 kg and negligible thickness. The coefficients of static friction at B and C are B=0.2 and C=0.4, respectively.
(a) Draw the free body diagram of AB and BC, respectively. (5%)
(b) Start by assuming the post slips at C, determine the minimum force P needed to move the post. (20%)
