Concept explainers
The truss shown consists of 18 members and is supported by a ball and socket at A, two short links at B, and one short link at G. (a) Check that this truss is a simple truss, that it is completely constrained, and that the reactions at its supports are statically determinate, (b) For the given loading, determine the force in each of the six members joined at G.

The roof forms an angle of 30° with the horizontal, and the cover is maintained in a horizontal position by the brace CE . Draw the free-body diagram needed to determine the magnitude of the force exerted by the brace and the reactions at the hinges. Assume that the hinge at A does not exert any axial thrust.arrow_forward
