Then what is the force at AB section?

How it is 0? Not getting, please explain it.

How did you say CD is zero? Bd member has 100t force then how?

Force transferred vertically direct. Hence at joint B, there is no horizontal forces at all. Hence Zero forces in BA, BC, and CD.

@All. Once go through the zero member forces theory you will get the answer. So, the answer is zero.

There is no force on the joint C, so force in the member BC is zero.

When we consider equilibrium at B it means a force of 100tN is in the member BD in the opp. Direction since there is no force acting at any section of the member BC so no force is required to make the equilibrium at c so the force in the member BC is zero.

At joint C there is only 2 members meet which are non collinear and there is no external force or reaction act at that joint. So the both member carry 0 force.

What is meant by truss?

At joint C there in neither any external force nor any support to give reaction. Hence BC and DC are zero force members as there is no other force to balance the member forces.
