Answer:
1.- Define the system
2.- Isolate the system
3.- Draw gravity and external forces and moments
4.- Apply equilibrium conditions
5.- Solve system of equations for the unknowns
Explanation:
Fist we must define the system that we are going to work with, then isolate it from external things to be able to draw all the forces that act within the system. Once we have drawn all the forces that act in the system, we apply the equilibrium conditions to obtain the equations that describe the system. and finally, we solve the system for unknown variables.
