For the space truss shown, check the sufficiency of the supports and also the number and arrangement of the members to ensure statical determinacy, both external and internal. By inspection determine the forces in members DC, CB, and CF. Calculate the force in member AF (positive if in tension, negative if in compression) and the x-component of the reaction of the truss at D. The x-component at D is positive if the reaction truss element is in tension, negative if in compression. Assume b-1.750,0= 45° Answers: AF- D, i AB=BE-AE-a i eTextbook and Media A P P 8 B
