Marks: +1, -0

The figure shows an idealized plane truss. If a horizontal force of 300 N is applied at point A,then the magnitude of the force produced in member CD is ________N.

Your Answer:

Validate

Solution:

The momentum about the point A must be zero, because there is no deformation of any truss. Hence,

F_{C D}=0[F_{C D}

is not passing through the point

{A}]
