Rough Support — Sliding Post
Short post on a rough base support with combined lateral (20 N) and vertical (50 N) applied loads; the rough support provides friction + normal + contact moment reactions, and the example checks both sliding onset and tipping eccentricity.

Solution
| Support | Rx (N) | Ry (N) | Mz (N·m) |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | -20 | 50 | 2 |
All reaction values are computed by the StatIQ structural engine, not generated text. Signs follow the solver's convention: a positive Ry acts upward, a negative Ry downward; a positive M is counter-clockwise.
