5.9 m | 7.7 m | 4.5 m | 6.8 m | 4 kN | 19 kN | 14 kN | 11 kN |
A truss has orthogonal force components applied to it at C and at D as shown. Given the dimensions and force components shown in the table, find the moments that the force components create about joints A and B.
Moments: (counter-clockwise positive; clockwise negative.)
Reactions: (Denote upward or rightward forces applied to the truss with positive values; downward or leftward forces applied to the truss with negative values.)
