Truss

1. The document provides 15 multiple choice questions regarding forces and load calculations for various truss structures. 2. The questions assess the ability to analyze truss structures under different loading conditions and calculate member forces. 3. Key concepts tested include calculating member forces based on applied loads, reactions, and stress limits in truss members.
