If the loads are all vertical in a truss, will there be horizontal component on the hinge of the given truss?
Answer:
even though a truss is loaded only with vertical loads, the top and bottom chords will resist axial tension or compression forces. If there is a hinge somewhere along the bottom or top chord, no moment is possibe there but horizontal loads must transfer at the hinge.
You really need to supply a sketch of this truss.
