Problem statement: A rigid structural component ABCDE is shown in the simplified drawing below. For the loading condition shown, determine the reactions in each of the bearings at A, B and C. All three bearings are smooth properly aligned bearings that only support lateral forces (i.e. no axial force or moment reactions are required for equilibrium). Draw your own free body diagram. Do not simply add reactions to the picture provided. Include dimensions on your free body diagram. 500 N 400 N 600 N 0.4 E 0.5 300 N Dimensions in m Drawing is not to scale x 0.2 0.3 0.25 B D 0.25 0.15 0.55
