Truss compression and tension forces help

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around analyzing a space truss with forces acting on its members, specifically focusing on determining the unknown forces F1, F2, and F3 given a force F of 10kN. There is confusion regarding the lack of a reaction force for F1, which complicates the calculations. Participants suggest that the truss should be attached to a vertical wall to provide necessary support against the force F. Concerns are raised about the 3D representation of the truss, indicating that the x component of F1 may not be properly balanced at the joint due to the configuration of the other members. Clarification on the truss's design and force interactions is needed to resolve these issues.

The space truss showin has compression and tension forces acting in the members as shown.

Force F is 10kN, determine the three unknown forces (F1, F2 and F3).


I know that it should be the summation of Fx, Fy and Fz, however for F1, there is no reaction force, so I don't know what to do.

Can somebody please help?

Attach A & B to a vertical wall.
What force is needed directly on the wall at the level of F3 to stop the wall from being pulled over by F.
 
so the x component of F1 would be supported by the wall??
 
bump ?

I'm not too good looking at 3D, but something appears wrong with your picture. There appears to be no way for the x component of the F1 force to be balanced at the joint, since the other 3 members all lie in the yz plane, unless the picture is misleading or incomplete?

(Disclaimer: this is not a HW question. I am self-studying, and this felt like the type of question I've seen in this forum. If there is somewhere better for me to share this doubt, please let me know and I'll transfer it right away.) I am currently reviewing Chapter 7 of Introduction to QM by Griffiths. I have been stuck for an hour or so trying to understand the last paragraph of this proof (pls check the attached file). It claims that we can express Ψ_{γ}(0) as a linear combination of...
