Question

When trying to solve a frame problem it will typically be necessary to draw many free body diagrams. a)-True b)-False

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

When trying to solve a frame problem in Engineering or Physics, it will typically be necessary to draw more than one body diagram.

When we have several parts of the frame or a set of frames, we have the anchor point, as well as the intersections of frames. Besides that, usually, there is a particle or rigid body together with the frame system. In this sense, usually, it is required to analyze a body diagram for the particle or rigid body suspended, as well as the intersections of the frames. So, usually, it will be required a minimum of two body diagrams.

If the system is more complex, or there are many intersections points, it will be required more than two body diagrams.

Finally, indeed, it will typically be necessary to draw many-body diagrams.
