⚡ Mecademy AIENG정역학 · ch4  Problem Statement Determine the force in member . Truss diagram for problem 4/27 Given: - Loads: downward at joints , , and . - Horizontal dimensions: between each vertical panel (). - Vertical dimension: Height of the truss is . - Supports: Pin support at joint and a roller support at joint . Problem 4/27 (a) Determination of the force in member 1. Formula: First, we determine the external reactions. Since the truss is in equilibrium, the sum of moments about support must be zero: Then, we use the method of sections by cutting through members , , and and applying vertical equilibrium to the right-hand portion: 2. Substitution: Calculate the vertical reaction at joint by taking moments about (with as origin , at , at , at , and at ): After finding , consider the section to the right of the cut (containing joints , , , and ): The external loads on this section are at and at . The internal force has a vertical component , where (since horizontal and vertical dimensions are both ).
