1. Identify and eliminate all of the zero force members in the Pratt truss shown. 2. Redraw the truss with only non-zero force members (linear pairs of members joined by a pin can be assumed to be a single member) 3. Then, find the internal forces in all members on the left side of (and including) the centerline JD. Note that the truss, loading, and supports are symmetrical, thus the internal forces are as well   Please provide all written work and FBD to learn from, thank you!

1. Identify and eliminate all of the zero
force members in the Pratt truss
shown.
2. Redraw the truss with only non-zero
force members (linear pairs of
members joined by a pin can be
assumed to be a single member)
3. Then, find the internal forces in all
members on the left side of (and
including) the centerline JD. Note
that the truss, loading, and supports
are symmetrical, thus the internal forces are as well
