Prob. 2. Determine the magnitude and nature of forces in all the members of the Considerations:
roof truss. Given, Joint A Hinged-2 Unknowns and D Roller – 1 unknown

To find Angles:

θ = tan-1 (12 / 22.5)

A
= 28.070
θ = tan-1 (12 / 35)
C
= 18.930

Consider F.B.D. of the truss. Step 1:

Use conditions of Eq. Considerations:
 Fx =0 H A =0,

Fy = 0 ( +) (− )
VA + RD −10.8 −10.8 =0,
VA +R D = 21.6 KN---------(1)
M A =0 Anticlockwise +Ve
-10.8 x 22.5 - 10.8 x 57.5 - R D x22.5=0

R D = 38.4 KN Put in Eq. (1),

VA = -16.8 KN, VA = 16.8 KN ( )
