Find the force in members BC, CJ and JH using the method of sections. 

Below is a transcription and detailed explanation of the diagram: --- **Truss Structure Analysis** This diagram illustrates a basic truss system used in structural engineering. The truss is supported at two ends by blocks, depicted here as shaded rectangles. **Key Features of the Diagram:** - **Supports:** - **Left Support (at A):** Positioned at the leftmost part of the truss, this support bears a vertical load. - **Right Support (at G):** Positioned at the rightmost part of the truss, this support similarly bears a vertical load. - **Nodes and Members:** - **Nodes:** Points A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J represent the joints where truss members are connected. - **Members:** AB, BC, CD, DE, EF, FG, HJ, IJ, and HI are line segments representing the structural components between nodes. - **Dimensions:** - Distance between nodes A and J, and nodes H and G is 8.5 inches. - The vertical height from the base to node D is 13.5 inches on the left side and 9 inches on the right side. - **Forces:** - **\( F_1 = 6.18030 \, \text{N} \):** The force exerted vertically downward at node J. - **\( F_2 = 2.15820 \, \text{N} \):** The force exerted vertically downward at node H. This truss configuration can be used to study static equilibrium, analyze the distribution of forces in structural systems, and determine the load-bearing capabilities of various truss members.
