Concept explainers
The truss shown consists of 18 members and is supported by a ball and socket at A, two short links at B, and one short link at G. (a) Check that this truss is a simple truss, that it is completely constrained, and that the reactions at its supports are statically determinate, (b) For the given loading, determine the force in each of the six members joined at G.

The collar can slide freely on the pole and can freely rotate about the y-axis. With the load shown at B, determine the tension in the cable and all of the components of the reaction at A. (Note: because there is a single support at A, you will need to consider moments as a part of the reaction at A.) D 18 lb 6 in. 6 in. 3 in.arrow_forward

Determine the reactions at A and tensile forces in ropes CE and BE.arrow_forward6.83-A smooth pulley is attached to the member ABD as shown. Determine the forces in Pins D, B, A and C. [Hint-Isolate and draw the FBD of the Pulley first and find forces at Pin D; then reverse these forces on to the common point D on the member ABD. Then you may wish to take the whole frame and write the 3 equations of equilibrium, or you can take the remaining member BC (not a two-force member) and do the same to solve for reactions at A and C, both are Type 2] 50lb 5ft 4 ft D B 1 ft 3ft Carrow_forwardF Problem 4.4 For the given truss, the reaction forces and the bar forces S1, S2 and S3 have to be determi- ned.
