Frame Analysis Using Method of Members, Another Problem

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on determining the force in bar BE using frame analysis and the method of members. Participants express uncertainty about where to start, specifically regarding the application of equilibrium equations EFy=0, EFx=0, and EMc=0. One user seeks guidance on isolating the left and right trusses to solve the problem effectively. The final answer for the force in bar BE is given as 2410 lb in compression. Clarification and assistance are requested to navigate the analysis process.

Frame Analysis Using Method of Members.

Determine the force in bar BE.


2. Well, I don't know where to start. I know there are three equations EFy=0, EFx=0, EMc=0 but I don't know what the first member to consider and how to solve this type of problem.

There is a final answer given, BE = 2410 lb (Compression)
I am trying to isolate the left and right trusses. Is that the right thing to do?
Please help, Thanks!
