2) A cantilevered truss is loaded as shown below. Using method of sections determine the force in member BC. Leave your answer in terms of P. Specify tension (T) or compression (C). (FYI, you do not need a calculator to do this problem.) (Hint: you do not need to find the support reactions to do this problem.) Ans: FBC = (9P)/4 (T) 6 m 6 m 4 m D E 3 m 6 m 3 m
