“…tall. Participants are led through the process to calculate the forces in each member with the assistance of an engineering student and then load each side of the truss with a 2 kg mass (19.62 N) to compare their answers with the output of the load cells [12] via PASCO Capstone Software [13]. After comparing their results, the participants change the direction of the internal diagonals to create a Pratt truss shown in Fig.…”
