Question

please answer

Question 9 (1 point) Assume that I have a FBD of a complex linkage (made of many links) where the EXTERNAL acting (or reacting) force directions are known. If I then draw the free body diagram of just one of the INDIVIDUAL links within the structure that happens to include an EXTERNAL force as well, I should draw that force: O In the same direction O In the opposite direction As broken up into its x and y components O As broken up into is parallel and perpedicular components to the linkage.

Explanation / Answer

It should be broken up into its parallel and perpendicular components reason being external force acts so to calculate the respective values of your FBD.
