Determine the force in member AB of the truss and state if the member is in tension or compression. Hint: The vertical component of force at C must equal zero. Take F1 = 6 kN , F2 = 9 kN .
(Figure 1)
Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. Assume positive scalars for members in tension and negative scalars for members in compression.
Determine the forces in members AE and ED of the truss and state if the members are in tension or compression.
Determine the force in member EB of the truss and state if the member is in tension or compression.
Determine the force in member BD of the truss and state if the member is in tension or compression.
Determine the force in member BC of the truss and state if the member is in tension or compression.
