Answer:


K=2J-R

Step-by-step explanation:

Let
R denotes the number of sides of a triangle.

Let
J denotes the number of joints.

Let
M denotes the number of members.

Let
K denotes the unknown to be solved.

Now write the structural stability formula:


K=2J-R

Here, design is stable if
M=K

Design is unstable if
M<K

Design is indeterminate if
M>K
