A triangular truss ABC has a horizontal span AC of length L with a vertical load W acting downwards at the apex B. If the supports A and C are simple hinge/roller supports, what are the forces in the members of the truss when considering a zero-force member evaluation at joint B if no external load is applied directly along the member?
- 1Forces are purely compressive in all members regardless of the load.
- 2All members have zero force.
- 3All members carry equal tensile forces.
- 4Forces depend on the specific truss geometry and external loading configuration.✓
Correct answer
Forces depend on the specific truss geometry and external loading configuration.
