Civil Engineering > GATE 2024 SET-1 > Trusses
The plane truss shown in the figure has 13 joints and 22 members. The truss is made of a homogeneous, prismatic, linearly elastic material. All members have identical axial rigidity. A to M indicate the joints of the truss. The truss has pin supports at joints A and L and roller support at joint K. The truss is subjected to a 10 kN vertically downward force at joint H and a 10 kN horizontal force in the rightward direction at joint B as shown.
The magnitude of the reaction (in kN) at the pin support L is _______. (rounded off to 1 decimal place).

Correct : 14.1
