Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Chapter 3: Analysis of Statically Determinate Structures**
**Section 3.5–3.6**
**Problem 3-19:**
Determine the force in members \(AE\), \(BE\), and \(BC\) of the truss and indicate if the members are in tension or compression.
**Diagram Explanation:**
- The diagram shows a truss structure with joints labeled \(A\), \(B\), \(C\), \(D\), and \(E\).
- The truss consists of several members connecting these joints.
- External forces are applied:
- A force of \(12 \, \text{k}\) acting downward at joint \(A\).
- A force of \(8 \, \text{k}\) acting downward at joint \(E\).
- The truss is symmetrical, with horizontal distances of \(8 \, \text{ft}\) between joints \(A\) and \(B\), and between \(B\) and \(C\).
- Vertical distances include \(6 \, \text{ft}\) between joints \(D\) and \(C\), and \(6 \, \text{ft}\) between \(E\) and the horizontal line through \(B\).
**Objective:**
The objective is to determine the forces in the specified truss members \(AE\), \(BE\), and \(BC\) and classify these forces as being in tension or compression.
