Question
The image depicts a truss structure with labeled points, supports, and angles. The points are labeled A, B, C, D, E, F, and G, forming a truss supported at points A and E. The load, denoted by \( P \), is a horizontal force of 590 kN applied at point C, directed to the right.

Key components and details:

- The horizontal length \( L \) is given as 3.0 meters.
- The truss has two right triangles on either side of point C.
- Angles at points B and D are labeled: 45° and 60°.
- Vertical and horizontal components between nodes, indicating how forces might be distributed.
- The truss is supported at A and E with fixed constraints shown as blocks beneath these points, implying these are the load-bearing supports.

The task is to compute the member forces in the truss members. In this calculation, tension is considered positive, and compression is negative.
