Unformatted text preview: 5. Replace the members with forces; assume the members are in tension , and that they are 2-force members (forces only applied at the ends of the members). 6. Remember to include any applied forces or reaction forces at that joint. 7. Apply the equilibrium equations to solve for the unknown forces, = ∑ x F = ∑ y F 8. Move to an adjacent joint that has no more than 2 unknown forces/members. 9. Repeat students 5 – 8 as needed....
