Question
The truss shown is composed of 45° right triangles. The crossed members in the center two panels are slender tie rods incapable of supporting compression. Find the forces in all four cross members. The forces are positive if in tension and zero if they attempt to go into compression. Also find the force in member MN (positive if in tension, negative if in compression).
