The document discusses the identification of zero-force members in a structural analysis context. It explains that members df and cf are zero-force due to a lack of load at joint d, while bh and ch are not zero-force members. Additionally, gc is confirmed not to be a zero-force member because of a load at joint g.

- 1. Also indicate all zero-force members. Check all that apply. Check all that apply. A B B C D E B H C H D F C F C G A H E F G H G H G H Also indicate all zero-force members. Check all that apply. Solution DF and CF Only. Explanation: The chances of zero members can be DF, CF, GC, BH and CH. Starting from DF: We know DF is zero member as there is no load in the joint D and DF joins a straight member CE....Likewise if DF is zero, then CF also becomes a zero member (in the same sense as explained for DF)...But this is not the case for BH as there is a load at joint B..CH also cannot be a zero member as it is not connected to just a straight member (instead BH also exist).....Now coming to GC, GC is not a zero member as there is a load acting at joint G.
