Problem 1. Design a truss and solve each one of the members (bars), the magnitudes and if they are in tension or in compression using any method. Do not use decimals. Must have at least two external forces which magnitude is P in kN. One of them must have a non-zero component at x. Must solve the supports holding the truss (you decide them). Must have at least eight bars and at least four of them must be diagonals. Must use triangles to solve the components of forces. Do not use angles. (Sorry, Pimentel). Must have at least two zero force-members. Distances must be integers between 1 to 6 meters. Draw the free body diagram of the truss and show the procedure of solution.
