Method of Joint
8-1 Determine the force in each member of the truss. State if the members are in
tension or compression. (Ans : FAC = 150 Ib (C), FAB = 140 Ib (T) , FBD = 140 Ib (T), FBC = 0 ,
FCD = 150 Ib (T), FCE = 180 Ib (C), FDE = 120 Ib (C), FDF = 230 Ib (T), FEF = 300 Ib (C))

Method of Section
8-2. Determine the force in members BC, CH, GH, and CG of the truss and state if the
members are in tension or compression. (Ans : FBC = 11.0 kN (T), FGH = 11.2 kN (C), FCH = 1.25
kN (C), FCG = 10.0 kN (T))
