Question 16 / 40:  Which of the following statements is true for a two-dimensional statically determinate truss?

I. There are at most two unknown forces at a pin joint.

II. The forces in the truss are independent of material properties.

III. Joint displacements need not be considered to calculate the internal forces.

A  Both I and II
B  II only
C  I, II, and III
D  Both II and III
E  Both I and III
<< First < Previous Flashcard Next > Last >>
Explanation:

For a statically determinate truss, only the equations of static equilibrium are required to solve for the internal forces. Material properties and displacements need not be considered. See sub-subunit 2.3.1.
