Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a simple truss with at least 6 members and 4 reactions. Determine if it is statically determinate or indeterminate and explain your reasoning.

💡 Hint: Map out the shape and count members and reactions carefully.

Question 2

If a member is analyzed with a force of -5kN, what does that signify about the assumptions made?

💡 Hint: Review how you defined tension and compression within the analysis.
