Determine the force in the members of the space truss and state if the members are in tension or compression. The truss is supported by ball-and socket joints at C, D, E, and G. Hint: Consider symmetry of geometry and loading. F= 3 kN 2 m 1.5 m a. Determine the force in member EA. b. Determine the force in member AB. Determine the reaction component at support E directed along the y-axis. Determine the reaction component at support C C. d. directed along the y-axis. Determine of the structure is statically determinate, e. indeterminate, or unstable. If indeterminate, state the degree of indeterminacy.
