Question

• Using the method of sections how can we  determine the internal axial
force N within the member?

Expert Solution
Step 1

It is an alternative method to find the internal axial force in the truss member.in the method of the section, the truss is cut through the whole truss at a single section and using equilibrium to solve unknown axial forces in the members in that section.

The advantage of this method is that for a determinate truss individual force in any member can be find out through the entire truss.
