    It may be the fact that I've taken so many structures classes but it's amazing how simply you put that. In my Statics course I never understood how to do this but it just clicked! Great job.

    When I check comments of people here, they were like for 8,9 years ago. I was just thinking about all that people. How are they now?how was their exam back then? What are they doing?
    This circle of life is interesting. When you made this video I was about 10 and some people watched it,10 years later Im watching it.hahaha I cant imagine that little Aynil stepped on this way.fate...
    I think some people in future years may read my comment,want to say to you just stay strong in your way,if you get tired take a rest but dont give up. Look at your back,thousands of people walked in this way,you are one of them.you are not alone.its not the end of world dont worry keep calm.
    The stress of exam night believe me all of us exprienced that.keep calm.
    Wish you all bests.May Allah help us🌼

    the line of action of the total FDE goes through point A, therefore it induces no moment about A.

    After making the sum of Horizontal and Vertical forces = 0 , you only need to make the sum of the moments around joint (A) = 0 in order to find all the three req'd member forces.

  • @structurefree
    @structurefree  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for the question. Yes, you are right. I got sloppy at the end of the video with my algebra. I've considered taking the video down...but it seems to be helping more than harming thus far. You know, It's like owning an amazing house but a crappy bed...you may feel good but your back hurts after a while.

    @DiosBaramin 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    @structurefree, I'm not sure if anyone has pointed this out but when you sum the moments about N to get FDE the third term should be 10k x 10'. You have written it as 10k x 15'. Funnily enough when you calculated the force you have corrected it without correcting it on the sheet. Not that I'm trying to be a stickler, just thought you'd like to know.
    Thank you for the video anyway. Very informative. It's been a while since I touched this stuff.

  • @imadgohar5600

    by finding the value of force NM we can put the value in first two equations(sum of x forces equation and sum of y forces
    equation).then we have got two equations with two variables and we can find the angle. then solve the both equations and we have got the values .no need to find moments at A

  • @claire8314
    @claire8314 10 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I wonder if it's possible to use the equation you made in the summation of Fx and Fy to obtain the internal forces of the members FDE and FNE since you already have the internal force FNM?
    -By just obtaining the angles needed
    -and by using algebra(matrix) or by simply plugging in the values needed in the calculator?
    Is it possible?

    isnt the joint in compression if the force exerted by the joint goes outwards (ie positive in your explanation)? (Because its exerting an opposing force to that which is exerted upon it, like Newton said?)

  • @bonkers9991

    Maybe I'm not getting this, but your last eq shows you taking the moments to the left of DE and you calculated with 5'x10k + 15'x10k - 15'x35k. I don't think you did that correctly. The second 10k load is only 10' away, not 15'.

  • @jacobgranigan9801
    @jacobgranigan9801 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    For the sum of moments about N it should be 10 kips times 5 like you have and then 10 kips times 10 instead of 10 kips times 15.

    I got completely different answers. I don't think I did anything wrong.
    I got DE as -49.58k. NE as 325k and NM as 41.67k
    I first found the support reactions.
    Ax as 0, Ay as 35K, and Iy as 35k
    then I took the moments about point N
    Sum(M) at N
    -9xDEsin(59.036)+5x10+10x10-35x15=0
    which gives me DE= -49.58k (in compression)
    then I took moments about point A
    Sum(M) at A
    -5x10-10x10-10x15+NEsin(67.38)
    NE=325k in tension
    After that I just took the summation of all the forces along x axis.
    Sum(F) along x
    -48.59Sin(59.036) + NM=0
    which gave me 41.67k (in tension)
    Can anyone confirm if these answers are correct or not?.

    • @muhammadabubakr720
      @muhammadabubakr720 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I tried using truss solver softwares and its giving me 48.591 for DE (in compression) which is correct. 21.667 for NE (in tension) which is different from what I got. And 33.333 (in tension) for NM.
