Engineering Mechanics

Direction: Two steel truss members, AC md BC, each having cross sectional are of 100 mm2, are subjected to a horizontal force F as shown in figure. All the joints are hinged.

  1. If F = 1 kN, the magnitude of the vertical reaction force developed at the point B in kN is
    1. 0.63
    2. 0.32
    3. 1.26
    4. 1.46
Correct Option: A

Vertical reaction at point B,
RB = FB cos 30 = 0.633 F
F = 1kN
∴ RB = 0.633 kN
