Explanation:

F2 Ankita.S 26-02-21 Savita D2

Given:

∠BAC = 60° 

∠BCA = 30° 

Let FAB = compressive 

FBC = compressive

FAB = ?

Considering joint B,

F2 Ankita.S 26-02-21 Savita D3

∑FH = 0 

FAB cos 60° = FBC cos 30° 

\(F_{AB} = \sqrt{3} \ F_{BC}\)

∑FV = 0 

FAB sin 60° + FBC sin 30° = 10

\(\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2} F_{AB} + \dfrac{F_{AB}}{\sqrt{3}} \times \dfrac{1}{2} = 10\)

Multiplying both sides by \(\sqrt {3}\)

\(3 F_{AB} + F_{AB} = 20\sqrt{3}\)

\(4F_{AB} = 20\sqrt{3}\)

\(F_{AB} = 5 \sqrt{3}\)

Compressive (As direction assumed comp)
