PROEX## $-$ STAT INDETERMINATE TRUSS

a$)$ For truss shown at the right with member

properties, E $=200$ GPa $,$ Area of Each Bar $=2500$

sq$.$mm and loaded, solve for the reactions using the

Force Method and then determine the bars with

the maximum tensile and compressive forces.

b$)$ For the truss shown below, draw the primary and

secondary trusses needed for the Force Method

and set$-$up the compatibility equation. Label

variables completely. Do not solve numerically.
