    STILL cant work out trusses.

    Simple if your logical Well you have two options, Method of sections Method of joints Method of sections is generally the quicker and simpler method. Basically you imagine you cut the truss. Every cut members now acts as an external force. Take sum of the moments that cancels out the...

    Energy Question

    Too much BS! Yeh I wish they gave harder mechanics questions, some of them are very weak! Too much BSing about societal and environmental BS, not enough calculations and theoretical work!
