    This document solves a problem to determine the forces in each member of a double-pitch roof truss. It uses the method of joints, drawing free body diagrams at each joint to set up systems of equations. It solves the systems of equations to determine the force and whether each member is in tension or compression. All members are found to be either in tension or compression except for one which is found to be in compression.

    Using the method of joints, determine the force in each member


    of the double-pitch roof truss shown. State whether each member
    is in tension or compression.

    SOLUTION
    Free body: Truss:

    ΣM A = 0: H (18 m) − (2 kN)(4 m) − (2 kN)(8 m) − (1.75 kN)(12 m)


    − (1.5 kN)(15 m) − (0.75 kN)(18 m) = 0
    H = 4.50 kN
    ΣFx = 0: Ax = 0
    ΣFy = 0: Ay + H − 9 = 0
    Ay = 9 − 4.50 A y = 4.50 kN

    Free body: Joint A:

    FAB FAC 3.50 kN


    = =
    5 2 1
    FAB = 7.8262 kN C FAB = 7.83 kN C

    FAC = 7.00 kN T
