A truss has 4 members and 3 joints. Is it:

Statically Determinate

Statically Indeterminate

Unstable

Statically Determinate?

Is the following equation true:?

2j = m + 3 where
j = joints and m = members

Plug in j = 3 and m = 4

2(3) = 4 + 3

6 < 7

Since 2j < m + 3, the truss is
Statically Indeterminate

What is the Answer?

Since 2j < m + 3, the truss is
Statically Indeterminate

How does the Static Determinacy and Stability Calculator work?

Free Static Determinacy and Stability Calculator - Given a number of joints (j) and a number of members (m), this determines if a truss is statically determinate, statically indeterminate, or unstable
This calculator has 2 inputs.
