Final Exam Answer Static

1. The document presents a two spring system that is stretched when a force F is applied at an angle u. It provides the equations to calculate the angle u and the magnitude of the force F. 2. A second problem shows a rigid member ABC supported at A and asks the reader to determine the force exerted by cable B and the reactions at support A using free body diagrams and equations of equilibrium. 3. An overall free body diagram problem is presented involving multiple joints and members, asking the reader to apply the principles of equilibrium to solve for unknown forces.
