Determine the support reactions and the force in member 2 of the
truss shown in Fig. =I, AE is comslant.
SOLUTION
Notation. The joints and members are numbered and the origin of
the x,y axes is established at , Fig. 4-105. Also, arrows are wed to
reference the near and far ends of each member. Using the code
numbers, where the lowest numbers denote the unconstrained degrees
of freedom, Fig. 1-105, we have
