This coursework 2 is an individual assignment, but the assignments are distinct to each student so that each student is faced with tasks that meet his or her individual needs. Please follow the below mention instructions. This coursework2 question paper consists of Three FULL questions. Answers to the Coursework2 questions should be hand written. Submit your coursework2 answers along with question paper.

Assignment 2
1. A space frame is a structure system assembled of linear elements so arranged that forces are transferred in a three-dimensional manner.Mension the advantages of space frame. 2. The pin-jointed space frame shown in figure1 below has three pinned supported at A,B and C as indicated. The supports A, B and C are in the same plane. Using the data given determine the member forces.
