atter is called a tie; a member subject to compressionor crushing is called a strut. 171. For the purpose of dimensioning the members, it isnecessary to know the stress in every member. The following I02 STATICS. [171. example illustrates a simple method for finding these stresseswhen the external… … Fig. 48. stresses in the members intersected by a^. Thus, in the figure,the forces A, Wy F^ F^, Fg form a system in equilibrium;hence, the sum of the moments of these forces with respect toany point must vanish. To determine F^ take moments about the intersection of F^and Fg ; thus F^ and F^ are…
