Answer:

The answer is a) True

Step-by-step explanation:

"Statically Indeterminate" means the number of unknowns you have exceed the number of available equations you can get from the static analysis, then the Static (equilibrium) analysis isn't enough to solve the problem.

Tracing constitutive models help to know where a load or reaction is located, also what kind of support settlements are used. This way you will know how the deflection behaves and also the momentum and torques location depending on the method you decide to use to solve the Statically Indeterminate system.
