Question: use the method of joints to calculate the load on...
Question details
Use the Method of Joints to
calculate the load on members AB and AH.(b) Use the Method of
Sections to calculate the load on members BC, BG and HG of the
truss shown. Assume that the weight of each member is very small in
comparison with the loads. In your answers, indicate the nature of
the load – use ( C ) for compression and (T) for tension. (Hint:
Start with the reaction forces Ay and Ey first. Note that Ax = 0
due to the rollers at
