Part A
Determine the force in each member of the truss. State whether the members are in tension or compression. Take that p = 510 lb (Figure 1).
Determine the force in the member AD of the truss. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. Assume positive scalars for members in tension and negative scalars for members in compression.
Part B
Determine the force in the member AB of the truss. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. Assume positive scalars for members in tension and negative scalars for members in compression.
Part C
Determine the force in the member BC of the truss. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. Assume positive scalars for members in tension and negative scalars for members in compression.
