Determine the maximum tensile force developed in
member ML of the truss shown below due to a dead
load of 10 kN/m, 15 kN/m live load and the load
induced by the trailer described below. Assume loads
are applied directly to the truss and move only to the
right
Expert Answer
To determine the maximum tensile force in a specific member of a truss, you typically need to perform a structural analysis considering the applied loads and the geometry of the truss. Here are the general information about analyzing truss structures 1. Identify the external loads In this case, you mentioned a dead load of 10 kN/m, a live load of 15 kN/m, and the load induced by the trailer. Make sure to determine the magnitude and distribution of these loads accurately Follow these steps as shows
