Q.1.14 The structure shown in fig is pinned to the floor at A and H. Determine the mas
of all the support forces acting on the structure and find the force in member BF bY al

For checking the reaction forces at A and H, pass a cutting plane through members AB, AG, and
“AHL. As shown in the figure above, the cutting plane b-b cut these members, Take the section above
‘bb and replace the cut members by internal force to maintain equilibrium. Solve for the internal
force in members AB, AG, and AH. With these forces known, you can then check the reactions
through joints A and H. The free body diagram of the section above b-b is similar to the free body
diagram of section above a-a. See the solution of section a-a below for easy reference of doing the
ection b-b.
