List all assumptions that are made.

Draw the free-body diagram for each piece
Using equilibrium i.e. force and moment
equilibrium must be satisfied for each
component, determine the internal forces
and moments i.e. forces or/and moments
transmitted between the different individual
pieces.
Drawings or pictures of your actual product
A discussion/conclusion section about the
product.

Was it designed well?

State what you think is interesting

or clever parts of the design.

How could the design be improved?

What simplifying assumptions

which you make in the analysis above that
may account for possible wrong answers.

How can the components be

designed to avoid overloading to avoid
failure?
