S ©Fx = 0; 0.7071P sin 45° + 0.7071P sin 45° – FGF = 0
FGF = P (T)
Due to the symmetry of the system and the loading,

FAE = FBC = 0.5P (C)
FAF = FBG = 0
FED = FCD = 0.5P (C)
FEF = FCG = 0.7071P (T)
FFD = FGD = 0.7071P (C)
From the above results, the greatest tensile and compressive forces developed in the member of
the truss are P and 0.7071P, respectively. Thus,
0.7071P = 7.5 P = 10.6067 kN

Thus,
FAB = 2.5 sin
FAC = –1.5 cos – 2 sin
For AB required:
1.5 kN
–1 ≤ 2.5 sin ≤ 2
–2 ≤ 5 sin ≤ 4 (1)
For AC required:
–1 ≤ –1.5 cos – 2 sin ≤2
– 4 ≤ 3 cos + 4 sin ≤2 (2)
Solving Eqs. (1) and (2) simultaneously,

1.5 kN
127° ≤ – 196° Ans
336° ≤ – 347° Ans
Possible hand solution:
 3
2 = 1 + tan–1   = 1 + 36.870
 4
Then
FAB = 2.5 sin 1
FAC = –1.5 cos ( 2 – 36.870°) – 2 sin ( 2 – 36.870°)

= –1.5 [cos 2 cos 36.870° + sin 2 sin 36.870°]
– 2 [sin 2 cos 36.870° – cos 2 sin 36.870°]

= –1.20 cos 2 – 0.90 sin 2 – 1.60 sin 2 + 1.20 cos 2
= –2.50 sin 2
Thus, we require
–2 ≤ 5 sin 1 ≤4 or –0.4 ≤ sin 1 ≤ 0.8 (1)
– 4 ≤ 5 sin 2 ≤2 or –0.8 ≤ sin 2 ≤ 0.4 (2)
Since 1 = 2 – 36.870°, the range of acceptable values for = 1 is
127° ≤ ≤ 196° Ans
336° ≤ ≤ 347° Ans

This result shows that WS is independent of the position x of the load on

From the above results, the greatest compressive and tensile forces developed in the member
are 0.8333P and 1.6667P, respectively. Thus,
