Axial forces in FB$,$ AE$,$ FE$,$ F

What is the degree of indeterminacy of the truss?

Assume that the diagonal members can carry

tension and compression forces. The diagonals do

not connect in the center, but one passes in front of

the other. Use method of sections, method of joints

or a combination of these.

approximate hand calculations using the Portal Method

What is the degree of indeterminacy of the frame?

Be sure to draw an exploded FBD with the pieces separated a bit but still in the original spatial

relationship
