This video shows how the Method of Joints analytical approach can be used to analyze the forces in a simple balsa wood truss bridge. Balsa wood bridge models are subjected to load tests in an attempt to see if identified zero-load members are critical to the structural integrity of the bridge models. This video is geared towards advanced high school physics student and entry-level engineering students. More information of this subject can be found at www.labratscientific.com.
