The figure shows a typical V-truss A-B from a building crane. In this exercise the truss is considered as plane. The truss is supported by a fixed hinge at A and an inclined tension bar DC, connected to the head of the truss at C. It carries the vertical load P at B.
a) Determine all reaction components at A and D.
b) Determine the force in the inclined bar DC supporting the truss.
c) Find the bar forces NEF , NCE and NCF .
