The answwer key says the answer is C - wind and dead load. So are you saying the answer key is incorrect? Because if so, I understand your explanation. But that's not what the booklet says is the correct answer
It's been awhile since I've done some statics problems and this particular question is stumping me. I understand that the dead and wind contribute to the overturn and uplift, but why not the live load? Please help! It's driving me crazy!
