Question
find forces Ax Ay Gx Gy

Transcribed Image Text:**Method of Sections**
**Use the following information to work the problem:**
1. The members of the truss (shown in black) are connected at the joints (shown in red) by smooth pins.
2. There is a rocker support at A and a pin support at G.
3. The orange dashed lines are used to show distances.
4. The external applied forces are shown in blue.
**Diagram Details:**
- **Truss Structure:** The truss is composed of several members connected at joints labeled A through G. The members form triangular and rectangular shapes indicating a typical truss design.
- **Supports:**
- A rocker support is located at point A, allowing for horizontal movement while providing vertical support.
- A pin support is located at point G, providing both vertical and horizontal support except movement is restricted in all directions.
- **External Forces:**
- Downward forces are applied at points B, C, D, and E: 45 lb, 50 lb, 30 lb, and 25 lb, respectively.
- A horizontal force of 25 lb is applied to the right at point F.
- **Distances:**
- The truss spans a total length divided into sections, each measuring 6 feet horizontally.
- Vertically, the section from F to G is also 6 feet high.
This setup is typical for analyzing static equilibrium and calculating internal forces within the truss members using the method of sections.
