2) A cantilevered truss is loaded as shown below. Using method of sections determine the force in member BC. Leave your answer in terms of P. Specify tension (T) or compression (C). (FYI, you do not need a calculator to do this problem.) (Hint: you do not need to find the support reactions to do this problem.) Ans: FBC = (9P)/4 (T) 6 m 6 m 4 m D E 3 m 6 m 3 m

Please help me with this one, thank you!! (for clarification the 2nd force is 1.5P)
This is an old practice exam question.
PROBLEM SET #2 METHOD OF JOINTS 1. Determine the force in each member of the truss shown. State whether each member is in tension or compression. Solve also for the components of the reactions at the supports. (Start at jt. A) A 350 4 m E B 35° 4 m 1.5P C 55° D OXOXO

Need help on all questions. Please include all units, steps to the problem and information such as its direction or if it is in compression or tension. Thx.
For the next Trusses, compute the axial forces in the selected sections. Compare the result with the method of joints. (Check the image for the trusses)
1 Problems Using the method of joints, determine the force in each member of the truss shown. Summarize the results on a force summation diagram, and indicate whether each mem- ber is in tension or compression.

2) A force, P, is applied to the truss shown to the right. First, determine the support reactions at C and F. Determine the force in member AB in terms of the A В applied force P (specify tension or compression). You must do this problem: (a) first, using method of joints, (b) second, using method of sections. (For part (a), plan ahead: what is the best joint to start with, so you can minimize the number of joints you need to analyze?) (FYI, you can do this problem without a calculator problem.) Ans. C, = 2P/3 (↑), Fx = 0, F, = P/3 (↑) FAB = P/2 (C) 4 m C F E OMONO P 3 m 3 m 3 m
Calculate the force in member GH of the truss and indicate whether it is in tension or compression, using either method of joints or method of sections. Required: Draw the FBD(s) as needed for analysis-all equilibrium equations must correspond to a FBD that you have drawn. Make sure to clearly indicate which FBD your equation(s) correspond to.
