Interactive Quizzes
Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.
Question 1
What does the method of joints primarily help determine in a truss?
- The stability of the truss
- The forces acting in the members of the truss
- The material properties of the truss
- None of the above
💡 Hint: Think about what the method specifically focuses on.
Question 2
True or False: If a calculated member force is negative, it indicates that the member is in tension.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Recall what the sign convention tells us.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given a truss with six members and three joints, if the forces in two members are known, derive the other forces using the method of joints.
💡 Hint: Start from joints where you have maximum known values.
Question 2
Analyze a loaded truss where one member fails and calculate resultant forces in adjacent members.
💡 Hint: Refer back to earlier calculations to see how force changes propagate across the truss.
