Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The structure is given in the Figure.

The Young’s modulus E and the area A is constant.

Calculation:

Refer the given structure.

Divide the magnitudes of forces and moments of the given loading by 2 to obtain the half loading.

Sketch the half loading for the given structure as shown in Figure 1.
