Em why does the question say to draw a free body diagram, and then offer "constructing" a free body diagram as a hint?

More confusing, is what Berkeman said, why can't we all just post our questions and get others to answer them for us as a supposed challenge?

oh hang on, where then would the reward be in solving them, and what would we actually learn: That we know how to copy letters and numbers?

No, no, no. It says to "Construt" the FBD, not construct. That's a way different hint for a textbook problem to be giving...
