Consider the scissor truss displayed in the figure. Identify the members that carry no load.
Thought I had this right can you explain which one is wrong?
Transcribed Image Text:**Truss Diagram Analysis**
This diagram illustrates a truss structure with labeled members indicating whether they are zero-force or not. The truss consists of several joints and members, labeled A through G, with an external force P applied at joint C.
**Members Identified as Zero-Force:**
- Member AB
- Member BC
- Member CD
- Member DE
**Members Identified as Not Zero-Force:**
- Member AG
- Member GE
**Diagram Description:**
- **Truss Structure:** The truss is arranged in a triangular shape at the top, connected to two horizontal beams at the bottom.
- **External Load (P):** Applied at joint C, causing tension and/or compression in the truss members.
- **Supports:** Located at points A and E, indicated by small support symbols.
**Feedback Section:**
The system indicates an incorrect attempt with a message: "Incorrect; Try Again; 4 attempts remaining. You labeled 2 of 7 targets incorrectly. There are unknown support reactions at A and E."
This feedback suggests reevaluating the members to ensure proper identification of zero-force components in the context of structural analysis.
