The force in BF of the truss shown in the figure below is All the members of a truss are identical in all respect.(Where, FB = L, AC=L & AB=2L)

The force in BF of the truss shown in the figure below is All the members of a truss are identical in all respect.(Where, FB = L, AC=L & AB=2L) Correct Answer 4.5 t compression

Calculation

ΣF= 0

 i.e. RA + RB = 5t

ΣMA = 0

 4t × L + 5t × L = RB × 2L

RB = 9t/2 = 4.5t

Taking joint B,

Force direction is towards joint B ∴ Compressive

∴ FB.F = 4.5 t (compression)
