What is Analyzing Truss Forces: Method of Sections about?

1. The method of sections involves cutting a truss into two sections using an imaginary cut line and analyzing the internal forces at the cut members using equilibrium equations. 2. A cut is made so that it passes through no more than 3 unknown force members. The forces at the cut members are determined by drawing a free body diagram of one section and using equations of equilibrium. 3. For example, in one problem a cut is made through members KJ, KD, and CD. The left section is analyzed and the forces
