The method of section consistsof passing an imaginary line through the truss cutting it into sections.Eachimaginary line will be in equilibrium if the entire trussis in equilibrium The following is a procedure for analyzing a truss using the method of sections: 1. First, if necessary,determine the support reactions for the entire truss 2. Next, make a decision on how the truss should be “cut” into sectionsand draw the corresponding free-body diagrams. 3. Tryto apply the three equations of equilibrium such that a simultaneous solution is not required Moments should be summed about points that lie at the intersection of the lines of action of wo unknown forces, so that the remaining force may be determined.
