Q.1) The truss is supported by a pin
support at F and a roller support at G.
Use the Method of Joints to solve for the
magnitude of the forces in members FB,
FD, BD, and BA. State whether each
member is in tension or compression.
Assume that FD and DA are collinear and
that AE and EG are collinear.
