what is the effort acting on bar AB?
For the truss given below, it is desired to determine the normal efforts that act on the members, so that, thus, possible constraints for its design are possible. Consider that at point A there is a second gender support; and at point D, a first-class support. As this is asked: what is the effort acting on bar AB? Is it guidance or assessment?
