Homework Statement
Hi guys,
I'm doing an assignment for college and designing a disabled hoist. I want to complete FBDs on the top beam especially. Can anyone help answer whether the work I've done is correct?
Homework Equations
the equations I used were the sum of all force = 0
and for the bending stress that the shear force = dm/dx
The Attempt at a Solution
Please see the two pictures attached for my attempts at (very quickly) drawing what i believe to be the correct solution. I'm taking the hwole thing to be static, as in the linear actuator is creating a force opposing the Load F. I would really appreciate some feedback, because I find F.B.D's hard to grasp, and I could be totally wrong!
Thanks
L
