Force vectors on a toothpick bridge
I am working on a toothpick bridge and would like to determine the forces on individual members and joints. What are the steps to doing this? (if you don't want to explain, links would be appreciated as well) I just want to know how to know how, not for the assignment, which is simply to build a bridge.
