**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.
