Consider the truss shown in (Figure 1) . Set P1 = 8 kN , P2 = 10 kN , and P3 = 5 kN . Part A) Determine the force in member EF of the truss and state if this member is in tension or compression. Part B) Determine the force in member BE of the truss and state if this member is in tension or compression. Part C) Determine the force in member BC of the truss and state if this member is in tension or compression. Part D) Determine the force in member BF of the truss and state if this member is in tension or compression.

Determine the force in each member of the loaded truss. The forces are positive if in tension; negative if in compression. Assume F1 = 4260 lb, F2 = 3730 lb, a = 5.1 ft, b = 8.3 ft, c = 2.9 ft, and d = 4.2 ft. AB = AE = BC = BD = BE = CD = DE =
