For a truss with a total load of 20 kN, what is the load on each member if the truss is symmetrical and has 4 members supporting the load?
  1. 2.5 kN
  2. 5 kN
  3. 10 kN
  4. 20 kN

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

For a truss with a total load of 20 kN, what is the load on each member if the truss is symmetrical and has 4 members supporting the load?
  • Step 1: Identify the total load on the truss, which is given as 20 kN.
  • Step 2: Count the number of members supporting the load, which is 4.
  • Step 3: Use the formula to find the load on each member: Load on each member = Total Load / Number of Members.
  • Step 4: Substitute the values into the formula: Load on each member = 20 kN / 4.
  • Step 5: Calculate the result: Load on each member = 5 kN.
  • Load Distribution – Understanding how total load is distributed evenly among symmetrical members in a truss.
  • Symmetry in Structures – Recognizing that symmetrical structures distribute loads equally across their members.
