What will be mathmetically answer in thus question?

Aakash said:   8 years ago
Then what is the force at AB section?

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

Abhishek said:   1 decade ago
How?

It should be indeterminate.

Because there is no dimensions are given.

Here will be some horizontal thrust which we will calculate by taking moment.

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.

Ranjit said:   9 years ago
There is no force on the joint C, so force in the member BC is zero.

Mir Idrees said:   9 years ago
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.

Sandhya said:   9 years ago
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?
