Truss Problem: Calculate Bar Forces, Exercises of Aeronautical Engineering

Problem M7

For the truss shown below calculate the forces in all the bars. The bars have length L or √2L

and all angles are either 90° or 45°. You will be conducting experiments on a truss of this

configuration beginning on October 30th. It is strongly encouraged that you complete this

problem set question before you begin performing the experiments. We also encourage you

to use the method of joints to solve this truss as you will be required to write an Ada code as

part of the truss lab, which will require use of the method of joints.
