Problem 412
Compute the force in each member of the truss shown in Fig.
P-412. If the loads at B and D are shifted vertically
downward to add to the loads at C and E, would there be any
change in the reactions? Which members, if any, would
undergo a change in internal force?

Summary
AB = 983.87 kN compression
AC = 440 kN tension
BD = 491.94 kN compression
BC = 700 kN tension
CD = 1118.03 kN compression
CE = 1440 kN tension
DE = 200 kN tension
EF = 1440 kN tension
DF = 1609.97 kN compression
With Loads at B and D moved and added to loads at C and E, respectively
RA and RF will not change, thus, internal forces of AB, AC, DF, and EF will not change.
By inspection at joint E, CE will not change because EF did not change but DE changed from
200 kN tension to 1000 kN tension.
By inspection at joint B, BD remains 491.94 kN compression from sum of horizontal forces but
BC changed from sum of vertical forces.

At joint C
Since AC and CE did not change, the value of CD will not change in summing up forces in

Thus, only BC and DE changed
