The solid structure ABCDE lies in the xy-plane and is supported by a ball-and-socket joint at A and a smooth journal bearing at C.
The weightless link EF is supported by two ball-and-socket joint at E and F.
The ball-and-socket joint at A and the smooth journal bearing at C are properly aligned.
How many force components and moment components parallel to the x-axis, y-axis and z-axis will develop in general on the pipe segment at point E if an arbitrary set of forces and couple moments are applied on the structure?
