Question 1 Members AC and CE of the frame each have a mass per unit length of 6 kg/m. Member BD has a mass per unit length of 8 kg/m. The frame is supported by a pin at A and a roller at E. For this frame: a) Locate the position (x, y) of the centre of gravity. b) Calculate the reactions at A and E. c) State whether member BD is a two-force member or a multi-force member, and explain your answer. Note: Neglect the size of the pins at the joints and the thickness of the members.

Question 4 Determine the normal force, shear force and bending moment acting at a section passing through point C of the beam AB. Clearly show these internal forces on an appropriate free body diagram. Note: 1. Neglect the weight of the beam. 2. Point C is horizontally in line with the top of the ledge at B.

Question 6 The truss is supported by a rocker at A and a pin at E. The maximum force that any member of the truss can support is 4 kN in tension, and 3 kN in compression. For this truss, determine the maximum force P that can be supported at point B as shown. Take d = 1.0 m. Note: Neglect the weight of the members.
