Question

What is the degree of static indeterminacy for the given truss?

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 0
• D. 4

Hint:

For trusses and structures, always calculate the degree of static indeterminacy to check if the system is statically determinate or indeterminate.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The degree of static indeterminacy (DSI) is calculated by the formula: \[ DSI = m + r - 2j \] Where: - \( m \) is the number of members, - \( r \) is the number of reactions, - \( j \) is the number of joints. For this truss, the DSI is 0, meaning the truss is statically determinate. Hence, the correct answer is 0.
