Could you just give me some assistance on part b please.  Thanks.

**Mastering Engineering: Truss Analysis**

---

**Assignment 14 - Problem 6.46**

*Consider the truss shown in (Figure 1). Suppose that \( F = 11 \, \text{kN} \).*

---

**Part A**

Calculate the force in member \( EF \) of the truss. Include three significant figures and appropriate units. Use a positive value for tension and a negative value for compression.

- **Answer:** \( F_{EF} = 13.0 \, \text{kN} \)
- Status: **Correct**

---

**Part B**

Determine the force in member \( CH \) of the truss and state if the member is in tension or compression. Include three significant figures and appropriate units. Use a positive value for tension and a negative value for compression.

- **Input field for answer with units**
- **Status:** Incorrect; Try Again. Two attempts remaining.

---

**Part C**

Calculate the force in member \( GH \) of the truss. Include three significant figures and appropriate units. Use a positive value for tension and a negative value for compression.

---

**Figure Description**

The figure displays a truss structure comprising multiple members connected at joints. Key points and forces are identified:

- **Dimensions:** Horizontal members are uniformly 4 meters apart, creating repetitive triangular sections.
- **Loads:** External forces are applied at specific points:
  - \( A \) to \( B \): 4 kN
  - \( D \): 11 kN
  - \( F \): 5 kN
- **Components:** Different sections of the truss are labeled with nodes from \( A \) to \( I \).

Understanding and analyzing this truss helps in determining the internal forces, providing insight into its structural integrity.

---

**Note:** Use the provided figure to assist in visualizing member connections and force distributions during your calculations.
