Answer to Question #319962 in Mechanics | Relativity for Nat

Question

Determine the force in each member of the loaded truss. All triangles are isosceles.

Answer 1

Answer

The examples of these are the sides of the bridges or tall TV towers or towers that carry electricity wires.

And also

All loads to the truss are point loads applied at the truss joints; 3. Weight of the truss members is small compared to joint loads and internal axial force that can be carried by the member. Due to the above assumptions, each truss member is loaded only at its ends and so each truss member is a Two Force Member
