As shown, a space truss is the frame for a building's awning. (Figure 2) Three ball-and-socket joints at A, B, and E support the frame. If a force of F = {110i +310j} N is applied at point D, what are the forces in each member? Indicate a tensile force as a positive value and a compressive force as a negative value. Express your answers numerically to three significant figures in newtons separated by commas.
