For the space truss shown below, there is an applied force
FCz at point D as shown. Point C is a pin reaction.
FA x , FAy , and FBx represent the only non-zero
reaction components at points
A and B.
FCy Find the reactions at A, B, and C.
FCx Using the method of sections, with a section cut by a
plane parallel to the x-z plane, find the force in
members AD and CD.
Find the forces in members AB, BC, ad BD using the
method of joints.
Find the force in member AC by inspection
