It has to be degree of kinematic indeterminancy.

Snehal Wankhede said:   9 years ago
Answer is B.
Lets say for frame ABCD EqS are,
Mab, Mba, Mbc, Mcb, Mcd, Mdc, ΣMb=0 ΣMc=0.

If there are 3 equations then the 3 joints will be there to solve and get the answer.

I can't understand how it is. Please someone explain it.

Yogita sharma said:   9 years ago
Force can act on horizontal and vertical at any joints.

Udhyhakumar said:   9 years ago
This is applicable for all the types of slopes and deflection method.

PAVITHRA said:   9 years ago
VL is vertical line.

Jyothsna said:   9 years ago
What is meant by VL?

Firdous said:   10 years ago
It VL depend on no of joints. As we have to determine joint rotations which in turn give us unknown moments.

No I didn't think so, it depends on the degree of kinematic indeterminacy. Think of a frame which can be both sway & non-sway. In former case equations are 2 while in later case it is 3.
