Mechanical Engineering: Trusses, Bridges & Other Structures (18 of 34) Pratt Bridge: Sections: Ex. 1

In this video I will find the compression/tension and magnitude of a section of each member, and the forces at support E of a pratt bridge.

Next video in this series can be seen at:

I thought I was done watching your videos after you help me get through physics. Here I am again now engineering lol

Is that make sense if i say all the forces drawn in method of joints and method of sections are both taken as external forces exert to the joints? And the internal forces of the members is also taken as external forces to joints.

Can we use this on trusses that r not bridges

U lost me at welcome to ilecture online
