Question
**Determine the force in each member of the loaded truss. The force is positive if in tension, negative if in compression.**

**Diagram Description:**

The diagram shows a truss with three joints labeled A, B, and C. 

- **Angle at Joint A:** 49°
- **Angle at Joint C:** 18°
- **Angle at Joint C with horizontal:** 54°

A weight, labeled as W, hangs vertically at joint B. 

**Truss Members:**
- Member AB
- Member AC
- Member BC

**Answers:** (Fill in each calculated force)
- AB = ___ W
- AC = ___ W
- BC = ___ W

Analyzing the truss involves determining the force in each member, considering whether each member is in tension (positive force) or compression (negative force).
