As shown, a truss is loaded by the forces P₁ = 510 lb and P₂ = 210 lb and has the dimension a = 10.0 ft. L. a P₁ C B ***** a/2 H D *** a/2 -P₂ a- Determine FBC, the magnitude of the force in member BC, using the method of sections. Assume for your calculations that each member is in tension, and include in your response the sign of each force that you obtain by applying this assumption.

Using the method of joints, determine the force in each member of the roof truss shown. Take the load P = 1.4 kN. (Round the final answers to a single decimal place.) 6 m- 2.4 kN B 9 m 6 m 2.4 kN O 6 m 9 m The force in member DF (FDF) is 0. The force in member EF (FEF) is The force in member AB (FAB) is The force in member AC (FAC) is The force in member BC (FBC) is The force in member BD (FBD) is The force in member CD (FCD) is The force in member CE (FCE) is The force in member DE (FDE) is P 7.5 m kN.

Part B As shown, the truss is loaded by the forces P₁= 207 lb and P₂ = 398 lb and has the dimension a = 3.10 ft. FAB, FBC, FBD = VAΣ vec Using the method of joints, determine FAB FBC, and FBD, the magnitude of the force in each of the members connected to joint B. Assume for your calculations that each member is in tension, and include in your response the sign of each force that you obtain by applying this assumption.
