1. Determine the reaction and force in each member of the truss by method of joints shown in
Fig.1 and indicate whether the members are in tension or compression?

Fig.1

2. Determine the force in each member of the truss shown in Fig. 2 .Indicate whether the members
are in tension or compression by using method of joints.

Fig.2
3. Determine the greatest load P that can be applied to the truss so that none of the members are
subjected to a force exceeding either 2 kN in tension or 1.5 kN in compression.

4. Identify the zero-force members in the truss. Calculate the member forces in truss as shown in
Fig.4

Fig.4

5. Determine the force in each member of the truss by method of sections from Fig.5. State if the
members are in tension or compression.

Fig.5
6. Determine the force in each member of the truss shown in Fig.6 and state if the members are in
tension or compression. Set θ = 300 .

Fig.6

7. Determine the force in each member of the truss shown in Fig.7 consider roller support at B and
state if the members are in tension or compression.

Fig.7

8. In the Fig.8 shows a truss, roller support at G and hinged at A carrying a load 'W' at
joint E. By the method of sections determine the forces in members BC,CH, CG and
GF?
