For Problems S2-422 to S2-436 inclusive, only partial answers (external reactions) are
provided. Students can check internal forces by drawing Free Body Diagrams of individual
members and in some cases the pins connecting members or pins connecting members to an
external support and applying the equilibrium equations. The moment equilibrium equation
should be applied about a point other than the point used in the initial analysis.
