• For the equilibrium of structures made of several
connected parts, the internal forces as well the external
forces are considered.
6 - 11
SOLUTION:
• Based on a free-body diagram of the
entire truss, solve the 3 equilibrium
equations for the reactions at E and C.
Fx 0 C x Cx 0
M A 0 5 m 6 kN 10 m 6 kN 15 m 6 kN
20 m 1 kN 25 m 1 kN 25 m L
L 7.5 kN
Fy 0 20 kN L A
A 12.5 kN
