METHOD OF SECTIONS :
Now consider any one part to the left or right of the section,
and evaluate the unknowns by applying the conditions of
equilibrium for the coplanar non-concurrent force system
(H=0, V=0 and M=0).
3kN
A 60 60 30 D
Solution :
2m E 1kN 2m
FAB = 6.57kN(C) FCE = 6kN(C)
FBC = 6.19kN(C) FDE = 3.87kN(T)
FAE = 2.71kN(C) FCD = 6.19kN(C)
F = 7.15kN(T)
