The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The free body diagram of a structure when supports are removed should represent the forces and moments that remain. In this case, we are given that there is a 100kN force acting at a point, and we need to show the effects of this force in the absence of the supports. The correct representation is the one in option (A), where the forces acting on the structure are represented as arrows, showing the direction and magnitude of the forces. Option (A) is the correct free body diagram.

Top Questions on Bending Moment
- A simply supported beam of length L is loaded by two symmetrically applied point loads P at \( L/3 \) from each support. Both the loads are then shifted to new points which are at a distance \( L/4 \) from each support. The bending moments at the mid-section of the beam in both the cases are same. The magnitude of \( P_1 \) in terms of P is: \includegraphics[width=0.5\linewidth]{image7.png}
