### Description of the Truss Structure:The image depicts a Howe truss with a distributed load applied across the top chord. The truss is symmetrical and composed of triangular units. Each segment of the top chord is loaded with a uniform load of 20 lb/ft. #### Key Elements:- **Supports:** - The truss is supported at two points, A and E, which are located on top of two vertical structures or walls. - **Points and Members:** - The points at which members intersect are labeled as A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H. - The horizontal span of the structure is divided into four equal segments, each 8 feet long. - **Load Distribution:** - A distributed load of 20 lb/ft is applied uniformly across the top chord from A to E. - **Triangles in the Truss:** - The truss consists of interconnected triangles: ABH, BCG, CDG, and DEF.#### Tasks:A) **Find equivalent forces at the joints for the distributed load.**B) **Compute the reactions at A and E.**C) **Compute the forces in the 13 members of the Howe truss.**### Analysis Approach:1. **Joint Load Calculation:** - Calculate the equivalent point loads at the joints by considering the distributed load over each segment.2. **Support Reactions:** - Use static equilibrium equations to determine the reactions at supports A and E.3. **Member Forces:** - Utilize methods such as the method of joints or method of sections to calculate the forces in each truss member, ensuring to distinguish between tension and compression.
