How many members in the truss shown have an internal axial force =0 in response to the loading shown? Note: Consider each line between named joints to be a member. Hint: Draw the truss with a pencil and paper. Identify any obvious zero force members. Once these "first pass" zero force members are identified, erase them from the page (if the force is θ, it might as well not be there). Look at the revised truss with the fewer members. Are there any more zero force members? Repeat the process until you see no more zero force members. a) 6 b) 9 c) 0 d) 3
