(a) To check for simple truss, start with ABDE and add three members at a time which meet at a single new
joint, successively adding joints G, F, H and C.
This is a simple truss !
There are six reaction force components, Ax, Ay, Az, By, Bz, and Gy, no two of which are colinear, so all
can be determined with the six equilibrium equations. Motion is prevented by the constraints.
Truss is completely constrained, and statically determinate. !

And finally, considering joint D knowing that FAD = FCD = FDH = 0, and recognizing that the three
remaining members are not co-planar, they must also carry zero load, FBD = FDE = FGH = 0.

Although several members carry no load with the given truss loading, they do

Note: The couples exerted by the two yokes on the crosspiece must be equal and opposite. Since neither yoke
can exert a couple along the arm of the crosspiece it contacts, these equal and opposite couples must be
normal to the plane of the crosspiece.
If the crosspiece arm attached to shaft CF is horizontal, the plane of the crosspiece is normal to shaft AC, so
couple M C is along AC.
