QUESTION 2
The plane truss shown on Figure 2 below is pinned at A and supported by pin-rollers at F. The truss is subjected to loading as shown on the Figure. The truss members are all made from steel with Young's modulus of 200GPa and cross-sectional area of 600mm2. Member C.G is the redundant member and was fabricated 5mm too short.
a) Using Strain Energy method, calculate the force in the redundant member.
b) Calculate the force in each member of the truss
