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

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

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

Srinivas said:   8 years ago
How it is 0? Not getting, please explain it.

Then what is the force at AB section?

Sondev shakya said:   8 years ago
What will be mathmetically answer in thus question?

There is no horizontal force conmponent on the truss. So at joint C, summation of force on x axis is zero. Therefore both member BC and AB are equal and are zero.

What is the force in ED?

Waqas Loother said:   6 years ago
Isn't this truss unstable as force is being applied on members and not on the joints?

There is no vertical force that's why Zero.
