Classify the beams shown in Figure through Figure as stable, determinate, or indeterminate, and state the degree of indeterminacy where necessary.. Fig. Beam. Solution. First, draw the freebody diagram of each beam. To determine the classification, apply equation or equation . Using equation, r = 7, m = 2, c = 0, j = 3. Applying the equation leads to 3(2) + 7 > 3(3 ...
