CE 117 Quiz 2: Structural Analysis Problems

This document contains 3 questions for a civil engineering quiz. Question 1 involves determining the resultant force, its inclination, and point of intersection on a Howe roof truss carrying given loads. Question 2 requires finding the values of alpha and theta for the forces shown to be in equilibrium. Question 3 is about determining the tension in a cable and reactions at points A and B for a uniform rod weighing 420 lbs with its center of gravity at G.

1. The Howe roof truss shown in Figure carries the given loads. The wind loads are
perpendicular to the inclined members. Determine the magnitude of the resultant, its
inclination with the horizontal, and where it intersects AB.

2. Determine the values of α and θ so that the forces shown in Figure will be in equilibrium.

3. The uniform rod in Figure weighs 420 lb and has its center of gravity at G. Determine the
tension in the cable and the reactions at the smooth surfaces at A and B
