**Problem 6-4: Truss Analysis**Objective: Determine the force in each member of the truss and state if the members are in tension or compression.### Diagram Explanation:The image shows a truss structure with joints labeled A through I. The truss is supported at points A and E, shown as ground points. Several loads are applied to the truss as follows:- **At Point H:** A horizontal force of 2 kips to the left.- **At Point I:** A horizontal force of 1.5 kips to the right, located 4 feet below Point H.- **At Point G and F:** Vertical forces of 3 kips each, directed downward.### Structural Details:- The truss is a series of connected members forming rigid triangular units.- The horizontal distance between points A to B, B to C, C to D, and D to E is 10 feet each.- The vertical positions of certain points are as follows: - The vertical height between A (bottom) and I (middle joint) is 4 feet. - The vertical height between I (middle joint) and H (top joint) is 4 feet, making the total vertical height from A to H 8 feet.### Analysis Purpose:The goal is to calculate the internal forces in each of the truss members and categorize them as either being in tension or compression, providing insights into the structural integrity and stability of the truss.
