Truss Analysis: Find Member Forces + Zero-Force Members | Method of Joints (P1=10kN, P2=8kN

Описание: In this detailed Engineering Statics tutorial, we solve a full truss analysis problem using the Method of Joints. We determine the force in every member, identify whether each member is in tension or compression, and locate the zero-force members in the structure.

The loads applied to the truss are P₁ = 10 kN and P₂ = 8 kN, and we go step-by-step through reactions, joint analysis, and interpretation of results.

You will learn how to:
✔ Apply equilibrium equations to find support reactions
✔ Use the method of joints to solve for member forces
✔ Correctly identify zero-force members
✔ Classify each member as tension or compression
✔ Build exam-ready strategies for quickly solving truss problems

This video is ideal for Statics, Mechanics of Materials, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and FE Exam preparation.
