Figure $\mathrm{P} 12.48$ shows a truss that supports a downward force of 1000 $\mathrm{N}$ applied at the point $B$ . The truss has negligible weight. The piers at $A$ and $C$ are smooth. (a) Apply the conditions of equilibrium to prove that $n_{A}=366 \mathrm{N}$ and $n_{C}=634 \mathrm{N} .$ (b) Use the result proved in Problem 48 to identify the directions of the forces that the bars exert on the pins joining them. Find the force of tension or of compression in each of the three bars.
