Truss analysis

Question 1 Determine the forces in members BC & FG for the truss loaded below. Apply section method of analysis

Question 2 Determine the forces in members BC,CF and EF of the truss. State if the members are in tension or compression. Apply section method of analysis

Question 3 FH,DH, & EG

Question 4 Identify the zero force members

Identify the zero force members

Question 5 Given: Loads as shown on the roof truss. Find: The force in members DE, DL, and ML.

Question 6 Can you determine the force in member ED by making the cut at section a-a? Explain your answer. a) No, there are 4 unknowns. b) Yes, using MD = 0. c) Yes, using ME = 0. d) Yes, using MB = 0

Question 4 Determine the force members AF,FB and ED of the truss. State if the members are in tension or compression. Use joint method of analysis
