?-\'.vl_g+12 Problem 1-(25 points) FINAL EXAM Find the APPROXIMATE reactions at point A 0 kips 5 kips 10 ft 10 ft 10 ft s vt S kips 15 ft 20 ft

Solution

Reactions at A will be due to vertical loads,horizontal loads and overturning moment

Approximate vertical reaction at A due to vertical loads=10/2 + 5*20/2=55 kips(upwards)

Approximate vertical reaction at A due to overturning moment=((5*15)+(5*25))/20=10 kips

Total vertical reaction at A=55+10=65 kips

Approximate horizontal reaction at A=(5+5)/2=5 kips
