The total (both external and internal) degrees of indeterminacy of the pin-jointed structure shown in the figure is:

The total (both external and internal) degrees of indeterminacy of the pin-jointed structure shown in the figure is: Correct Answer 1

Concept:

Degree of Static Indeterminacy (Ds):

Ds = m + r - 2j

Where,

m is the total members;

j is total joints,

r is support reactions

Calculation:

No. of support reactions, r = 6 (3 pin supports and each two reactions)

No. of members, m = 17

No. of joints, j = 11

Ds = 17 + 6 - 2 × 11

∴ Ds = 1
