Question
### Analysis of a Warren Bridge Truss

#### Problem Statement
1) A Warren bridge truss is shown below.
   - (a) Determine the support reactions at points A and K.
   - (b) Determine the force in members CE, DE, and DF using the method of joints.
   - (c) Determine the force in members CE, DE, and DF using the method of sections.

(Note: A is a roller and K is a pin support.)

#### Calculated Values
- **Reactions at Supports:**
  - \( A_y = 8400 \, \text{lb (up)} \)
  - \( K_x = 0 \)
  - \( K_y = 3600 \, \text{lb (up)} \)

- **Member Forces (Method of Sections):**
  - \( F_{CE} = 8000 \, \text{lb (T)} \)
  - \( F_{DE} = 2600 \, \text{lb (T)} \)
  - \( F_{DF} = 9000 \, \text{lb (C)} \)

- **Intermediate Answers (Method of Joints):**
  - \( F_{AB} = 9100 \, \text{lb (C)} \)
  - \( F_{AC} = 3500 \, \text{lb (T)} \)
  - \( F_{BC} = 9100 \, \text{lb (T)} \)
  - \( F_{BD} = 7000 \, \text{lb (C)} \)
  - \( F_{CD} = 2600 \, \text{lb (C)} \)

#### Diagram Description
- The truss is a series of interconnected triangles forming a bridge-like structure.
- It has vertical members labeled A, C, E, G, I, and K, with horizontal members bridging across (e.g., B to D, D to F, etc.).
- The truss spans across a total distance of 60 feet, divided into segments of varying lengths: 6.25 ft and 12.5 ft. 
- Vertical loads of 6000 lb each are applied at points C and G.
- Supports:
  - Point A has a roller support.
  - Point K has a pin support.
- Member forces are evaluated to determine forces in tension (T) and
