Method of Joints –Class Problem
If we were interested in
the force of member CE.
We can use a cutting line
or section to breakup the
truss and solve by taking
the moment about B.
Method of Sections – Example
Fx 0 RAx
RAx 0 kN
RAx
L
Fy 0 RAy
L RAy 20 kN
Method of
Sections –
Example
RAx
Solve for the L
moment at A. RAy
M A 6 kN 5 m 6 kN 10 m 6 kN 15 m
1 kN 20 m 1 kN 25 m L 30 m
L 7.5 kN
RAy 12.5 kN
