This 6-page document provides an example of how to calculate the internal forces within a truss. The document outlines the steps to determine the reactions at the supports, draw the free body diagram of each truss member, and apply the method of joints to calculate the axial forces in each member. Key equations and diagrams are included to illustrate the process of analyzing the truss to determine its internal member forces.
