Question
Transcribed Image Text:**Problem 6-9:**
Determine the force in each member of the truss and state if the members are in tension or compression. Set \( P_1 = 3 \, \text{kN} \), \( P_2 = 6 \, \text{kN} \).
**Truss Description:**
The diagram shows a truss supported at points \( A \) and \( D \). The truss consists of the following components:
- Horizontal members: \( AB \), \( BC \), and \( CD \).
- Vertical members: \( BD \) and \( CE \).
- Diagonal members: \( BE \) and \( CE \).
**Member Lengths and Loads:**
- The distance between points \( A \) and \( B \) is 4 meters.
- The distance between points \( B \) and \( C \) is 4 meters.
- The distance between points \( C \) and \( D \) is 4 meters.
- The height from point \( D \) to point \( E \) is 6 meters.
- Load \( P_1 = 3 \, \text{kN} \) is applied downwards at point \( B \).
- Load \( P_2 = 6 \, \text{kN} \) is applied downwards at point \( C \).
The objective is to calculate the forces in each member and evaluate if the forces result in tension or compression.
