Question:medium
Which of the following supports can resist both vertical and horizontal forces but not moments?
Which of the following supports can resist both vertical and horizontal forces but not moments?
Show Hint
To remember support reactions:
- Roller: 1 reaction force (perpendicular to surface).
- Pin Hinge: 2 reaction forces (vertical and horizontal).
- Fixed: 3 reactions (vertical, horizontal, and bending moment).
