What is a key advantage of using the Method of Sections over the Method of Joints in truss analysis?
1
The Method of Sections does not require the assumption of concurrent forces at the joints.
2
The Method of Sections can directly calculate the forces in any member without having to analyze the entire truss.
3
The Method of Sections is more accurate than the Method of Joints.
4
The Method of Sections is the only method that allows for the calculation of reaction forces.
