Question

Question 4: For the planar truss system shown in the figure below, - Calculate the axial forces in the members \( \underline{\mathrm{JK}, C J} \), and CD using THE METHOD OF SECTIONS. - State whether those members are in tension (T) or compression (C). Note: The points A and \( \mathrm{G} \) are supported with the pin and roller supports, respectively.

Step 1

Since the truss is in equilibrium, the sum of the vertical forces and the sum of the horizontal forces must be equal to zero. ΣFx = 0 RAx = 0 (since there is no horizontal force acting on the truss) ΣFy = 0 RAy + RG - 10 kN - 20 kN - 30 kN = 0 RAy + RG = 60 Show more…
