The geometry of the truss that you are to analyze is shown below in Figure 1. The load at joint B is at an unknown angle 0 from the horizontal as shown. The following data is known: Three-member simple truss Joint-to-joint length of member AC: Magnitude of force F applied at joint B: Fixed support at joint A Rolling support (y movement arrested) at joint C A 0° ≤ 0 ≤ 360° Ľx 30° B 0 45° F C 0.6 meters 550 Newtons Figure 1: Three bar truss with applied force F at angle 0 counterclockwise from horizontal For a given angle 0 in degrees your task is to determine the tensions in members AB, BC, and AC, as well as reaction forces Ax, Ay, and Cy. The convention used here is that members in compression will have a negative value for their tension, and reaction forces are aligned with the positive x- and y-axes. Q BO
