The weightless L-shaped bracket is supported by a pin at A and supported by a roller at B. A horizontal force F is applied as shown in the image below. Show forces with unknown directions as components aligned with the axes given. Complete the Free Body Diagram of the bracket by dragging the forces located on the top right corner of the plotting area into the relevant points located on the body. Use common sense to work out which directions components should point. Note: Not all of the points will necessarily require forces.

Explanation / Answer

ra in horizontal direction = f inreverse direction to applied force

rb verical is "f" acting upwards and

ra vertical is "f" acting downwards.
