Question 1

What do we mean by the term 'static determinacy'?

  • The ability to analyze a structure without extra data
  • The ability to determine how much load a structure can carry
  • None of the above

💡 Hint: Reflect on the conditions needed to solve truss problems.

Question 2

True or False: A free-body diagram only needs to show external loads.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how forces act on joints and members.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A truss has 8 members and 6 joints with a vertical load at joint A. Analyze the truss and determine the forces in members AB and AC.

💡 Hint: Make sure to identify all forces acting at joint A.

Question 2

Given a mixed truss with both horizontal and vertical loads, determine if the members are in tension or compression by applying the method of sections.

💡 Hint: Remember how tension and compression forces behave in members.
