The figure shows the free body diagram around the flange. The flange connects the post with the rod. The free body diagram cuts across the post labeled 1 and the rod labeled 2. The force on the post is F subscript 1 directed horizontally to the left and the force on the rod is F subscript 2 directed horizontally to the right.
