Chapter 5
The document contains solutions to problems involving the determination of reaction forces in beams, trusses, and other structures using equations of equilibrium. The solutions involve writing force and moment equilibrium equations and solving the resulting simultaneous equations to determine the unknown reaction forces at supports. Components of the solutions are summarized as follows: 1) Free body diagrams are drawn showing the external forces acting on the structure. 2) Equilibrium equations are written for the forces and moments acting on the structure. 3) The equations are solved to determine values for the unknown reaction forces.
