![### Determining Forces in Truss Members
#### Problem Statement
Suppose that \( P = 450 \) lb as shown in **Figure 1**.
#### Figure Analysis
**Figure 1** depicts a truss structure with the following details:
- A horizontal base of 6 ft, divided into two segments of 3 ft each.
- Points of interest labeled as \( A \), \( B \), \( C \), \( D \), and \( E \).
- The truss is subjected to a vertical load of 600 lb at point \( E \).
- Members of the truss are arranged as follows:
- \( A \) and \( B \) are at the base.
- Point \( E \) is above point \( A \), with a vertical leg connecting \( A \) to \( E \).
- Point \( D \) is centered horizontally between \( A \) and \( C \) and slightly above halfway vertically.
- A member extends from point \( E \) to point \( C \), forming an angle of \( 30^\circ \) with the horizontal line extending from \( B \) to \( C \).
