Step 1
First, let's analyze the forces acting on joint G. We have a vertical force of 6 kN acting downwards at joint G, and a horizontal force of 7 kN acting towards the right at joint G. Show more…

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
