Given:

Required:

Before you arrive for your scheduled Lab B time you must analyse the truss above. You must arrive at your

scheduled time, having completed all of the steps below:

Analyse the truss using the method of joints to determine the load carried by each member of the

truss.

Label the load as a fraction of $P$ in each member of the truss on the figure above.

Highlight the member that carries the maximum compressive load.

Highlight the member that carries the maximum tensile load.

Assuming that the maximum load in any member is $72$ N what is the maximum load $P$ that the truss

can carry?

Bring this page showing all of the loads in all of the member along with your supporting calculations. The

work should be neatly presented to allow others to peer review your design.

Students that have not completed all of the steps above will not be allowed into the lab and will receive

a zero for this lab. Proof of a completed design includes this page with the member loads written on the

figure above and all of your supporting calculations. $($cab you please do in handwriting thanks$)$
