Problem 1: For the truss under the following 3 loading conditions, determine the minimum cost o each truss based on the following: • Wood (popsicle sticks) - $100/stick Cable (thread) - $10/section Please note that all members of the truss are the same length. Given this information, it doesn't ma what length you use, or what "X is, but if it helps, just make up numbers, i.e. length of 5" and X of 10lbs. In class we will be using members that are approximately 6" long and weights that are approximately % Ib, although on the weights we can just add more to get the desired effect.
