Example problem for analyzing a structural frame with an inclined member. This is a very detailed example with lots of explanation about how and why we do what we do...plus a look at some alternative possibilities. The process followed in the video is as follows:
1) Label frame members
2) Calculate external reactions
3) "cut" out members and draw them with respect to their i (start) and j (end)
4) Draw axial, shear, and moment diagrams for each member
