d. In a truss problem that involves a large number of joints, ifone is interested to nd the force in only a few members, then themethod of joints is a faster approach than the method ofsections.

e. In problems that involve shear and bending moment diagrams,if there are no couples applied at the ends of the beam, and ifthere are no supports imposing moment reactions at the ends, thenthe bending moment diagram always starts and ends at zero value forthe beam's ends.
