Expert Solution
Step 1

(a) Zero Force Elements:

At a unloaded joint, when there are three elements meet out of which two elements are collinear then the third element is zero-force element.

From the figure, the zero force members are BH, DI & LJ

(b) Reactions:

MA=015×7.5 + 50×10 + 40 sin50.19°×17.5 - 40 cos50.19°×3 - VG×20 = 0VG=53.67 kN  V=0VA+VG=15 + 50 +40 sin50.19°VA=42.06 kN  H=0HA - 40 cos50.19°=0HA=25.61 kN
