force calculation for a brace

[e***@netscape.net]

Hello
I'm not a P.E. but stiil want to find out how to figure out this
problem .
Problem is the force going into a brace . Think of the situation as a
right angle isoceles triangle . The 45 degree angle at the top of the
triangle has a force of 500 pounds . The hypotenus is the brace that
takes the 500 lb force stopping the right aangle side from moving .What
would the force be on the hypotenus (brace) be .

Thanks ED

What you need is the TRUSS analysis program that you can download from:-
