Problem 6-5

Determine the force in each member of the truss and state if the members are in tension or
compression.
Problem 6-15
Determine the force in each member of the truss and state if the members are in tension or
compression.
Problem 6-17

The maximum allowable tensile force in the members of the truss is Tmax and the maximum
allowable compressive force is Cmax. Determine the maximum magnitude of the load P that can
be applied to the truss.
Problem 6-25
Determine the force in each member of the truss and state if the members are in tension or
compression. Hint: The vertical component of force at C must equal zero. Why?
Problem 6-32
The Pratt bridge truss is subjected to the loading shown. Determine the force in members JI,
