1-3. Because the strength of the material is 200 N/mm2 and its cross-sectional area is 100 mm2, the
maximum possible axial force is 200 x 100 = 20 kN. On the other hand, the axial forces in members
AB and AC caused by an external force F are as follows (see Fig. 1-1).

3 1
PAB = F PAC = F
2 2
Noting that PAB is larger than PAC, we can assume that the truss fails if PAB = 20 kN.

PAB = F = 20 leads to F = × 20 ≈ 23.1 (kN )

No. 4 is correct.
1-4. Equilibrium of the moments around support A leads to a reaction at support E expressed as
5
RE = × 20 = 5 ( N) .

Equilibrium of vertical forces leads to
RA = 20 − RE = 15 ( N) .
Equilibrium at joint A shown in Fig. 1-2a yields PAC = 15 kN, while equilibrium at joint E shown in
Fig. 1-2b yields PCE = 5 kN.
No. 1 is correct.
