Question: ( 3 0 pts ) The truss structure in the figure below has 4 loads applied to it . a . Draw a free body
pts The truss structure in the figure below has loads applied to it
a Draw a free body diagram of the bridge. Draw and label all known
forces, unknown forces, and coordinate system.
b Solve for the reactions at A & G
c Using Method of Joints and starting at joint A solve for the forces in
members and AG Specify whether they are in tension or
compression.
d Continuing with Method of Joints, examine joint and solve for the
forces in members GB and GF Specify whether they are in tension or
compression.
e Now assume you have not solved for and GF yet. Section the
bridge through members GB and GF and draw a free body
diagram of the top section labeling all forces and coordinate system.
f Summing moments about solve for and specify whether it is in
tension or compression.
g Summing moments about B solve for GF and specify whether it is in
tension or compression.
h Knowing and GF solve for GB and specify whether it is in tension
or compression.
