Homework Statement
please see the image, I am supposed to find the internal force in each member of the truss and state if its in compression or tension
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
here is what I have so far (all in kN)...
My=40 up
Gy=80 up
Mx=0
from joint G
Tga=100 in compression
Tgh=60 in tension
from joint A
Tah=90 in compression
Tab=80 in tension
from joint H
Thb=162.5 in tension
Thj=157.5 in compression
from joint J
Tjb=20 in tension
Tjk=157.5 in tension
from joint B
Tbk=162.5 in tension
Tbc=80 in compression
from joint K
Tkl=255 in compression
I stopped here, I feel I've done something wrong, can someone let me know if I'm doing something wrong...thanks
