Additional examples are given in this section. For more explanations on trusses and frames
read Chapter 4 of your textbook.
1. Determine the force in each member of
the crane truss shown.
Solution:
6"
For the given crane truss, the member
forces can be determined without solving
for the support reactions.

We can start our solution at joint A, since
there are only two unknowns at joint A.
5200 lb
Solve for the angle between member AC and AB:
Cosine law:
x = V(6)² + (9)² – (2)(6)(9) cos 120°
x = 13.08 ft
