double isosceles 01
Two trusses are arranged to support a set of loads as shown. The dimensions and loads are given in the following table:
Dimensions and Loads:
a | b | | | | | | |
24 ft | 31 ft | 110 deg | 52 deg | 27 deg | 785 lb | 1098 lb | 454 lb |
Find the force in each member and the reactions at the supports.
Reactions:
(Denote rightward or upward forces applied to the truss as positive; leftward or downward forces applied to the truss as negative.)
Members:
(Denote tension forces with positive values; compressive forces with negative values.)
