If cables BD and BC can withstand a maximum tensile force of 17 kN, determine the maximum mass of the girder that can be suspended from the cable AB so that neither cable will fail. The center of mass of the girder is located at point G. Supply the answer in Mg. I 45% A B FA AB 'G 30° D

Determine the force in each member of the loaded truss. The forces are positive if in tension, negative if in compression. Part 1 B AD 50° CD AD = Correct Answers: CD= 3.1 m The Free-Body diagram for joint Dis drawn assuming that all internal forces are in tension. Solve for the forces in AD and CD.
