Consider the structure shown in Figure 5. The magnitude of force F is 928N. The supports at C, D and E are ball and socket supports. a) Find an equivalent system where there is only a single force vector and a single couple vector that act at point D b) Draw a free body diagram of the whole structure c) Determine if the structure is statically indeterminate d) If the structure is statically indeterminate, what is the degree of redundancy e) Determine the reactions at the three supports (If the structure is statically indeterminate, find as many as you can)
