Q
Q: In a truss, if a member is in tension, what is the nature of the force acting on it?
Solution:
If a member in a truss is in tension, the force acting on it is pulling away from the joint.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what a truss is. A truss is a structure made of connected members (like beams) that support loads.
Step 2: Identify what it means for a member to be in tension. Tension means that the member is being pulled apart.
Step 3: Visualize the member in the truss. Imagine it connected to joints (the points where members meet).
Step 4: Recognize the direction of the force. If the member is in tension, the force is acting away from the joint.
Step 5: Conclude that the nature of the force on a tension member is a pulling force, moving outward from the joint.
