Here's a link I happened to find that is not overly complicated. It is just one of many sources.

I understand the importance of having reliable sources for any research or assignment. When it comes to trusses, there are many resources available that can provide you with the necessary information and calculations.

Firstly, I would recommend checking out textbooks on structural engineering or mechanics, as they often have detailed explanations and examples on truss analysis and design. Additionally, online resources from reputable sources such as universities or engineering organizations can also be helpful.

Some specific sources that may be useful for your assignment include:

1. "Structural Analysis" by R.C. Hibbeler - this textbook covers the basic theory and analysis of trusses in a clear and concise manner.

2. The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) website - they have a section dedicated to truss design and analysis, with articles, publications, and resources available for download.

3. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) website - they have a database of structural engineering resources, including information on trusses and calculations.

In addition to these sources, I would also recommend consulting with your instructor or a structural engineer for guidance and clarification on any specific questions or calculations you may have. Good luck with your assignment!
