Define what a statically indeterminate structure is.
Think about how many equations you have and how many unknowns are involved.
What is one advantage of a statically indeterminate structure?
Consider what happens during a structural failure.
What defines a statically indeterminate structure?
Think about the relationship of unknowns to equations.
Is a propped cantilever beam generally easier or more challenging to analyze than a simply supported beam?
Consider how constraints affect the analysis.
Analyze a propped cantilever beam subjected to a uniformly distributed load. Find the deflections at various points.
Consider how each load interacts with the beam's supports.
For a cable-supported structure with a rigid plate, derive the reactions at the supports when subjected to lateral loads.
Think about the balance of forces on the rigid body.
