TUTORIAL

Problem- 1

No of member m=12
No of joints n=8
No of reactions =r=4
m +r=16=2n(No of unknown=No of equations)
So this is a simple truss and all forces can be determined. This is an example of completely
constrained and determinate.
Problem-2

A x =0
Σ M I =0=¿−A y ( 16 ) +60 ( 16 ) +120 ( 12+8+ 4−4 )−60 ( 8 )=0
 A y =180 kN

Left FBD -

Σ M H =0=¿−A y (12)+ 60(12)+ 120(8+ 4)+ F EG (3)=0


 F EG =0

180 kN

Σ M E=0=¿− A y ( 8)+60 (8)+120(4)−F FH (3)=0


 F FH =−160=−160 kN
