Q
Q: In a truss, if a member is in tension, what can be inferred about the forces acting on it?
Solution:
If a member in a truss is in tension, it is being pulled apart by the forces acting on it.
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 the member is being stretched or pulled apart.
Step 3: Recognize that forces act on the members of the truss. These forces can be from weights, loads, or other members.
Step 4: If a member is in tension, it means that the forces acting on it are pulling it away from the other members.
Step 5: Conclude that the forces acting on a tension member are directed outward, trying to pull the member apart.
