Question

Determine the force in the members of the space truss and 
state if the members are in tension or compression. The truss 
is supported by ball-and socket joints at C, D, E, and G. Hint: 
Consider symmetry of geometry and loading.

(Complete Solution)

a. Determine the force in member EA.
b. Determine the force in member AB.
c. Determine the reaction component at support E
directed along the y-axis.
d. Determine the reaction component at support C 
directed along the y-axis.
e. Determine of the structure is statically determinate, 
indeterminate, or unstable. If indeterminate, state 
the degree of indeterminacy
