**Problem Statement:**

Find the forces in the three members of the space truss shown in the figure.

**Diagram Description:**

The diagram illustrates a space truss system with three members, labeled as points \( a \), \( b \), \( c \), and \( d \). The axes are marked with \( x \), \( y \), and \( z \).

- Member \( ad \) is inclined along the \( y \)-axis:
  - 600 mm along the \( y \)-axis
  - 500 mm along the horizontal \( x \)-axis

- Member \( ac \) forms an angle with both the \( x \)- and \( z \)-axes:
  - 820 mm along the \( x \)-axis
  - 625 mm along the negative \( z \)-axis

- Member \( bc \) is parallel to the \( x \)-axis:
  - Horizontal distance of 820 mm from \( b \) to point \( c \)

- A force of 950 N acts downward along the \( z \)-axis at point \( c \).

This truss is subject to analysis to determine the forces experienced by these structural members due to the external force applied.
