The figure shows a truss structure similar to that in Exercise 2.8. In the present truss the vertical middle bar has been removed, and the support in B is fixed in both directions.
a) Determine the reaction forces.
b) Determine the forces in all the bars connected to node C.
Exercise 2.8
The figure shows a truss structure in which all bars have the length a. The structure has a fixed simple support at A and a simple support permitting horizontal motion at B. The truss is loaded by vertical forces of magnitude P and 2P.
a) Determine the reaction forces.
b) Determine the forces in all the bars connected to node C.
