Unit 2

This document contains 11 problems involving determining support reactions and resultants for various structural systems with multiple applied forces. The problems involve finding support reactions and resultants for beams, plates, rods, and cable car systems with applied forces shown in accompanying diagrams. Analytical solutions require using principles of statics, including drawing free body diagrams, to reduce systems of forces to equivalent force systems and determine support reactions.
