1) For the structures marked as 1-6, classify each as

stable or unstable and state if determinate or

indeterminate. If the structure is stable and
indeterminate, specify the degree of indeterminacy.
If unstable, explain the reason (2 pts each)

such that the reaction at A and B will be equal.

3) (5 pts) A barge floating in water is loaded as shown.

Determine its length so that it will remain in a
horizontal position and will be subjected to a uniform
upward buoyant pressure. Also determine the
maximum positive moment,
5) (6 pts) Compute all support reactions.
6) (8 pts) Compute all support reactions. 7) (9 pts) The frame structure shown supports
a load G=1000 N. Assuming ideal pins at all
joints, find the compressive force in the bar BC
and the shear force on the pin at D. The pulley E
has a radius of 1 m.
8) (10 pts) Three identical sticks, each 40 cm long,
are arranged as shown, such that each stick supports
the end of another at its midpoint so that DEF is an
equilateral triangle. A load of 35 N is placed on stick
DFB midway between D and F. Determine the
reactions at A, B, and C. Disregard the weight of the
sticks.
