MENG 2003 - Statics Assignment 10 - Due at 11:59 pm on April 1<sup>st</sup>, 2020 1) Determine the force in each member of the truss. Note the presence of any zero-force members. 1 m 5 kN A 3 m B D 2 m C 2) A snow load transfers the forces shown to the upper joints of a Pratt roof truss. Neglect any horizontal reactions at the supports and solve for the forces in all members. 1 kN 1 kN C 1 kN 1 kN B D 1 kN 2 m A E 2 m H 2 m G 2 m F 2 m

(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.
The truss, given below, is subjected to the forces shown: 1) Determine the force in each member of the truss and state if the members are in tension or compression if P1 = 3 KN and P2 = 2 KN. Don't forget to draw FBD of each joint while solving. 2) Find the reactions at the supports A and E.
