Step 1
First, let's identify the members of the truss. We'll label them as follows: - AB: horizontal member on the left side - BC: diagonal member on the left side - CD: vertical member in the middle - DE: diagonal member on the right side - EF: horizontal member on the Show more…

Determine the force in each member of the truss and state if the members are in tension or compression. Set $P_{1}=9 \mathrm{kN}, P_{2}=15 \mathrm{kN}$
Determine the force in members BC, BE, and EF of the truss (as a magnitude without determining if it is in tension or compression). Set P1= 14 kN, P2= 4 kN, P3= 15 kN, and the distance d=3 m. FBC = kN FBE = kN FEF = kN
