- 2) A force, P, is applied to the truss shown to the right. First, determine the support reactions at C and F. Determine the force in member AB in terms of the A В applied force P (specify tension or compression). You must do this problem: (a) first, using method of joints, (b) second, using method of sections. (For part (a), plan ahead: what is the best joint to start with, so you can minimize the number of joints you need to analyze?) (FYI, you can do this problem without a calculator problem.) Ans. C, = 2P/3 (↑), Fx = 0, F, = P/3 (↑) FAB = P/2 (C) 4 m C F E OMONO P 3 m 3 m 3 marrow_forward2) A cantilevered truss is loaded as shown below. Using method of sections determine the force in member BC. Leave your answer in terms of P. Specify tension (T) or compression (C). (FYI, you do not need a calculator to do this problem.)
