Transcribed Image Text:Consider the plane truss with load P as shown in
the figure. Let the horizontal and vertical reactions
at the joint B be Hg and Vg respectively and Vc
be the vertical reaction at the joint C.
A
60°
60
F
60°
60°
Which one of the following sets gives the correct
values of VR, Hg and Vc?
(a) VB = 0; H, = 0; Vc = P
(b) VB = P/2; H3 = 0; Vc = P/2
(c) V = P/2; H = P (sin 60°); V. = P/2
(d) V = P; H = P (cos 60°); V. = 0
