Question 1

What does the equation ∑F_x = 0 represent in truss analysis?

  • Sum of all vertical forces
  • Sum of all horizontal forces
  • Sum of all moments

💡 Hint: Think about which forces are acting in the horizontal direction.

Question 2

A truss is statically indeterminate if:

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Review the conditions for determinate vs. indeterminate.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A truss has 8 members, 4 joints, and 3 reactions. Is it stable? Justify your answer using the appropriate relationship.

💡 Hint: Apply the m + R < 2j condition.

Question 2

In a truss analysis, if the internal force in a member returns negative, what does it imply? Provide an example.

💡 Hint: Think back to the sign convention!
