Step 1
First, we need to calculate the stiffness matrix for each element. For a truss element in 2D, the stiffness matrix is given by: K = (A*E/L) * [ cos^2(theta), cos(theta)*sin(theta), -cos^2(theta), -cos(theta)*sin(theta); Show more…

(II) A heavy load $M g=66.0 \mathrm{kN}$ hangs at point $\mathrm{E}$ of the single cantilever truss shown in Fig. $70 .$ (a) Use a torque equation for the truss as a whole to determine the tension $F_{\mathrm{T}}$ in the support cable, and then determine the force $\vec{\mathbf{F}}_{\mathrm{A}}$ on the truss at pin A. (b) Determine the force in each member of the truss. Neglect the weight. of the trusses, which is small compared to the load.

Assignment 3 (Due date: November 18, 2020) Determine all force members of the truss shown in figure by using method of joints. Determine the force in members GE, GC and BC of the truss shown in figure by using method of sections. Indicate whether the members are in tension or compression. Assume each truss member is pin connected. (Point A: pin support, point D: roller support) 400 N 3 m 4 m 4 m 4 m 1200 N LATE SUBMISSIONS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED
