Method of joints example 1

The video tutorial explains how to solve a simple truss problem using the method of joints. It covers analyzing the geometry to find unknown lengths and angles, creating a free body diagram to determine reaction forces, and applying the method of joints to find internal forces in truss members. The tutorial concludes with a discussion on tension and compression in the truss members.
