Question
1. You are in the middle of constructing a truss with pin connection at each node. Additional materials available to add to the current status of the structure are four 14'-2" long steel cables. Locate these cables in appropriate positions to stabilize the structure. Determine the force characteristics (with arrows) and force magnitudes of each member of the completed structure, Draw a diagram of the relative sizes of the individual members of the truss. 1k 1k 1k 2k 1.5k 6.SEk 1.Sak 15 10ft 1.Sk 1.5k 10ft 10ft 10ft 10ft 2. Re-draw the truss you already completed and solved in 4-1 with the only change of its height from 10 ft to 5 ft. Solve it again and display the force magnitude of each member. You don't have to show your work for this if you can solve this problem without any written calculation. Briefly discuss the impact of the structural depth.
