Question
2-23
**Truss Analysis Problems** **Problem 3-23**: Determine the force in members \(HG\), \(HC\), \(HB\), and \(AB\) of the truss. State if the members are in tension or compression. Assume all members are pin connected. **Problem 3-24**: Determine the force in members \(GF\), \(GC\), \(HC\), and \(BC\) of the truss. State if the members are in tension or compression. Assume all members are pin connected. **Truss Diagram Explanation**: The diagram depicts a truss with eight pin-connected members. The truss joints are labeled from \(A\) to \(I\) with applied loads of 3 kN at joints \(I\), \(H\), \(G\), and \(F\). The distances between the vertical points \(A\), \(B\), \(C\), \(D\), and \(E\) are 2 meters each. The height of the truss from point \(A\) to point \(I\) is 4 meters. Members are arranged to form a triangular framework, which includes vertical, horizontal, and diagonal members. Each joint is represented as a pin connection, allowing rotation but no translation, distributing the forces throughout the structure.
