Transcribed Image Text:**Problem Description:**
**Determine the force in each member of the truss shown.**
**Diagram:**
The image presents a truss structure labeled as "Fig. 1 – The truss for Prob. 2." The truss consists of:
- **Members:** Connecting points A, B, C, and D forming triangles.
- **Supports:**
- Point A is supported by a pinned connection.
- Point C is supported by a roller support on the right.
- **External Forces:**
- A vertical force of 400 N is applied at point B.
- A horizontal force of 600 N is applied to the right at point D.
**Dimensions:**
- The horizontal distance between points A and D is 6 meters (3 m between A and B, and 3 m between B and D).
- The vertical distance between points B and D is 4 meters.
The goal is to determine the internal forces in the members of the truss structure.
