Statics of Rigid Bodies - Engineering Mechanics

This document contains calculations for determining internal forces in several statically determinate truss structures. The first structure involves calculating forces at 5 joints (A, B, C, D, E) using the method of joints. Forces are calculated as compression or tension. The second structure calculates reactions at supports A and B using the method of sections. The third structure calculates forces at 8 joints (A through H) using the method of joints. Forces are given as compression or tension. The fourth structure calculates forces in members AB, BD, BE, and DE of a truss using trigonometric relationships and equilibrium equations. Forces are given as compression or tension.
