Pro 1 Determine the force in each member of
the truss and state if the members are in
tension or compression. Set P1 = 50 kN, P2 =
30 kN.
Note: I taught to find reactions first and apply
truss techniques. This is generally a good
way to do. In this problem, you have four
reactions, which may be difficult to find. You
have two options:
1) Applying methods of joints without
finding reactions (I typically do not
suggest but it works in this problem)
2) Find reactions.... You can be smart
and find them... Please use
discussions if you want to...
