Q: The forces in the members cut by the method of section should NOT be:
  • A. non-coplanar
  • B. coplanar
  • C. concurrent
  • D. non-concurrent
Correct Answer: Option C - In the method of section, the section line. (i) Should not pass through more than three members. (ii) The forces in the members cut by section should not be concurrent. (iii) The truss should get completely separated into two parts. (iv) The forces in the members cut by the method of section should be non-coplanar, coplanar and non-concurrent.
