Homework Statement
Determine the force in each member of the truss shown.
Homework Equations
[tex]\Sigma[/tex]Fx = 0
[tex]\Sigma[/tex]Fy = 0
[tex]\Sigma[/tex]M = 0
The Attempt at a Solution
I divided up the truss into different systems, the whole truss, and then a system for each pin. I must be doing something wrong because I found that FAP = 0 and FA = 0
As far as the free body diagram, I wasn't sure about the force on the rollers, I just had a single horizontal force pointing inward for each and a force in the x and y directions for the pin at point B. Can someone give some direction?
Thanks
