402. Joint B of the truss shown in Fig. 402 is subjected to the forces exerted by the three
members AB, BC, and BD. Members AB and BD are in the same straight line but BC is inclined
at an angle of degrees with this straight line. Show that the force in BC must be zero. Generalize
this result and then show that the force in members CD, DE, EF, KI, HI, HK and JK is also zero.

403. Determine the force in each bar of the truss shown in Fig 403. Hint: First, determine which
bars carry no load using the principle developed in Prob. 402.
404. Determine the forces in the members of the roof truss shown in Fig. 404

405. Determine the force in each bar of the truss shown in fig 405 caused by lifting the 120 lb-
load at constant velocity of 8ft per second. What change in these forces, if any results from
placing the roller support at D and the hinge support at A?
406. The cantilever truss in Fig P-406 is hinged at D and E. Find the forces in each member.

407. In the cantilever shown in Fig 407, compute the force in members AB, BE and DE.
408. Compute the force in each member of the Warren truss in Fig 408.

411. Determine the force in members AB, AC, BD, CD, and CE of the cantilever truss shown in
Fig. 411. If the loads were applied at C and E instead of at B and D, specify which member
would have the internal force changed.
412. Compute the force in each member of the truss shown in Fig 412. If the loads a B and D are
shifted vertically downward to add to the loads at C and E, will there be any change in the
reactions. Which members, if any, would undergo a change in internal force?

413. Determine the force in each member of the crane shown in Fig 413.
414. Determine the force in members AB, BD and CD of the truss shown in Fig 414.

415. Solve for the fore in members FH, DF and DG of the truss shown in Fig 414.
