Ans 2

Introduction / Concept / Theory / formula/ conversion factors

The force method or the method of consistent deformation is based on the equilibrium

of forces and compatibility of structures. The method entails first selecting the unknown
redundants, for the structure and then removing the redundant reactions or members to
obtain the primary structure

Explain first step of your answer here:

The compatibility equations are formulated and used together with the equations of
equilibrium to determine the unknown redundants.

Explain the next step of your answer here:

The number of the compatibility equations must match the number of the unknown
redundants.
Once the unknown redundants are determined, the structure becomes determinate

Conclusion of the Answer

Force method uses force as basic unknown variable which is a function as static
indeterminacies so, force method is preferred when there is less no. of static and more
numbers of kinematic indeterminacies.
