### Truss Problem Analysis

**All problem solutions must include Free Body Diagrams (FBDs).**

**Problem 6-27:**
Determine the force in members \(DC\), \(HC\), and \(HI\) of the truss, and state if the members are in tension or compression.

**Problem 6-28:**
Determine the force in members \(ED\), \(EH\), and \(GH\) of the truss, and state if the members are in tension or compression.

#### Truss Diagram Description:

- The truss structure is supported at points \(A\) and \(F\).
- External loads are applied as follows:
  - A 40 kN load is applied at point \(E\).
  - A 50 kN load is applied at point \(D\).
  - A 30 kN load is applied horizontally at point \(C\).
  - A 40 kN load is applied horizontally at point \(B\).

- The truss is composed of linear members connected at joints \(A\), \(B\), \(C\), \(D\), \(E\), \(F\), \(G\), \(H\), and \(I\).

- **Dimensions:**
  - Horizontal distance between joints \(E\), \(D\), and the corresponding external forces is 2 meters each.
  - Vertical distance from joint \(A\) to \(I\), \(H\), and horizontal extensions is 1.5 meters each.

This exercise involves calculating internal forces in specific truss members and determining whether those members are experiencing tension or compression, using techniques from statics such as the method of joints or sections.
