a [6 points] Identify all the zero-members in the truss.
b [7.5 points] Draw a complete Foe simplified truss that results when eliminating all zero-force members identified.
c [15 points] Calculate the support reactions at A and H.
d [9 points] Provide a joint sequence to enable the finding of the force in all the truss members. (The support reactions are not considered unknown for the joint sequence).
e) [37.5 points] Use the Method of Joints to determine the force in members OI and ED.
f [12 points] Use the Method of Sections to determine the force in the truss member ED. Ignore all calculations done in part (e).
g [Bonus: 12 points] Use the Method of Joints to determine the force in each truss member (all of them).
h [Bonus: 2 points] Draw a complete summary of the forces acting on the entire truss indicating their value and whether they are in tension (T) or compression (C).
