Q5 / Determine the force in bars BD, CD, and DE of the nacelle truss shown in Figure (5), and
state if the members are in tension or compression.

ΣMC=0

9RF+3(60)=9(120)+12(120)

 
ΣMC=0

9RF+3(60)=9(120)+12(120)

9RF=2340

RF=260 kN

 Section to the right of M-M

ΣFV=0

FDE(110√)+120+120=260

110√FDE=20

FDE=2010−−√ kN=63.24 kN tension

      answer
 

ΣME=0

6FCF+3(120)=0

6FCF=−360

FCF=−60 kN=60 kN compression
ΣFH=0

FBE+FCF+310√FDE=0

FBE−60+310√(2010−−√)=0

FBE−60+60=0

FBE=0

(313√FBD)(6)+260(9)=120(9)+120(12)

1813√FBD=180

FBD=1013−−√ kN=36.06 kN tension

      answer
 

ΣMB=0

(35FCD)(6)+120(9)+120(12)=60(6)+260(9)
