I APPLICATION OF PRINCIPLES OF EQUILIBRIUM 71 Compute the stresses in DE and HJ and see if these stressesbalance with the horizontal component of DJ. Compute the stresses in BC, BG, CG and DH and then draw astress diagram to check the computations. It is worthy of note that a solution by the method of sectionsis entirely independent of the number, inclination or arrange-ment of any members of the structure other than those cut bythe section. 46.
