Determine the force in each member of the space truss and state if the members are in tension or compression. The truss is supported by ball-and-socket joints at $A, B, C,$ and $D$
Determine the force in members $E I$ and $J I$ of the truss which serves to support the deck of a bridge. State if these members are in tension or compression.
Using the method of joints, determine the force in each member of the truss shown. State whether each member is in tension or compression.
