 remove member Fac

Primary structure, N0

Take P = 11.286N

1) Calculate reaction

∑MA = 0
HB (0.5) – 11.286 (1) = 0
HB = 22.572 N

+∑FX = 0
HB + H A = 0
HA = - 22,572 N

+∑FY = 0
VA + V B = 0
VA = 11.286 N
2) Calculate force in member (method of joint)

Joint A

+∑FY = 0 +∑FX = 0
-11.286 + FAB = 0 -22.572 + FAE = 0
FAB = 11.286 N FAE = 22.572 N

Joint B

+∑FY = 0 +∑FX = 0
-11.286 - FBE sin 450 = 0 22.572 + FBC + FBE cos 450 = 0
FBE = -15.961N FBC = -11.286N

Joint D

+∑FY = 0 +∑FX = 0
11.286 + FDC sin 450 = 0 -FDE + (- FDC cos 450) = 0
FDC = -15.961N FDE = 11.286N
 Joint C

+∑FY = 0

- FCE + (- 15.961 cos 450) = 0

FCE = -11.286N

3) Redundant structure, N1 (member FAD)

FAB = -0.7071 N
FAE = -0.7071 N
FAC = 1 N
FBC = -0.7071 N
FBE = 1 N
FCD = 0
FCE = -0.7071 N
FDE = 0
