PLATE NO. 1 METHOD OF JOINTS AND E F=0.866 kN (T )

SECTIONS
@ Joint A:
PROBLEM 1: Determine the force in each
member of the truss. All interior angles
are 600. State if the members are in
tension or compression. Assume all
members are pin connected.

SOLUTION:
∑ M c =0

R A ( 3 ) =1.5 (3.75 )+ 3 ( 2.25 )+3 ( 0.75 )

R A =4.625 kN

∑ F y =0

@ Joint F:
∑ F y =0

AF sin 600=1.5

AF=1.732 kN (C)

∑ Fx=0

EF=1.732cos 600
