Question

When using the "method of joints" to solve a truss problem, by convention assume that any unknown member forces act in b Tension c. Torsion d. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

(b) Tension

Explanation:

we know that in truss ,load is acting only at the pin joint,so there is no any moment and no any torsion present in the truss member.This is the condition for truss that load will act only at the hinge point .So when we are resolving force We will take ,our member is in tension.

If load will act other than the hinge joint then it will call frame.
