The resultant force of the wind and the weights of the various components act on the sign (Figure 1). 12 ft 16 ft 12 ft 400 lb 1800 lb 700 lb

A freeway sign measuring 12 ft by 6 ft is supported on a single mast, as shown. The sign, supporting the framework and mast together, weighs 500 lb with a center of gravity 10 ft away from the vertical centerline of the mast. When the sign is subjected to the direct blast of a 75 mph wind, an average pressure difference of 17.5 lb/ft^2 is developed between the front and back sides of the sign, with the resultant of the wind-pressure forces acting at the center of the sign. Draw a free body diagram and determine the magnitudes of the force and moment reactions at the base of the mast.
