Consider the frame that is loaded as shown in Figure P17.

The frame consists of multiple beams welded together. The frame is supported at three locations, by a guided roller, pin and a fixed support as indicated in the figure. 

Draw the complete free-body diagram (FBD) of the frame using the parameters given in the figure.

Instructions

  • Show all external loads acting on the frame.
  • Include relevant dimensions shown in the figure.
  • Label all reaction forces and moments clearly.
  • Include a clearly defined coordinate system  (xx and yy axes, and moments).
  • Ensure you use the correct numerical values and units where they are provided.
  • Do not calculate reactions. 
  • Present distributed loads as correctly labelled distributed loads, i.e., do not present or calculate the equivalent point load.

Use the following sign convention:

  • Positive
    Image failed to load: x
    x is to the right.
  • Positive
    Image failed to load: y
    y is upward.
  • Anti-clockwise moments are taken as positive.
