Trusses usually need to carry both roof loads and ceiling loads. Both types of loads are modeled can be modeled as point loads at the truss joints.
What is known:
- The width of the truss is 10 ft.
- The roof incline angle, θ, is 40°.
- There are loads at each joint as shown in the diagram at the left
- Loads are shown in the diagram.
