Trusses
For the 3D Truss model in Fig 5-16 and 5-17
assume that the model is loaded by a horizontal Force F directed parallel to the x axis. Determine the mag of the forces in bars AB and BC due to F only; ie., do not consider the weight W. Assume that the satellite is very small relative to the tower, so that F acts at point F at the top of the tower,
Ans 2|F|Sqrt3/3

ok :( well do u understand what it means when it says the model is loaded with a horizontal force?

dan815 · Answer

i can get started on it, but i need some help picturing where it means this force actually is applied
