    PROBLEM 6.

    Using the method of joints, determine the force in each member of the truss
    shown. State whether each member is in tension or compression.

    SOLUTION

    Support Reactions: Entire truss:


    SFx = 0: Bx = 0

    SMC = 0: - By (400 mm) - (1200 N)(500 mm) = 0

    By = -1500 N B y = 1500 N

    SFy = 0: -1500 N -1200 N + C = 0

    C = 2700 N

    FBA FBC 1500 N
