BE1612 Consider the truss shown in Figure 2. It has a mass of 1, 2, or 3 kg applied at one joint “B”, “C” or “D”: Engineering Mechanics statics Assignment, BUL, UK

Question 2

Consider the truss shown in Figure 2. It has a mass of 1, 2, or 3 kg applied at one joint “B”, “C” or “D”. The trusses have six load cells attached to the struts, as depicted in Figure 2 by the black rectangles 1-6. The struts are connected through hinges at the joints.

• Construct the Free Body Diagram (FBD) for the entire truss in Figure 2 and calculate the supporting forces at point “A” and point “I”.
• By using the method of sections, calculate the forces in the struts with the load cells (1-6) attached.
• Provide a short discussion of the experimental laboratory for the truss in Figure 2 and compare your analytical results at load cells (1-6) with the experimental measurements for the loading case depicted in Figure 2.
