how do i solve the attached civil engineering problem ### Truss AnalysisGiven the truss below, the parameters are as follows:- External forces: \( P_1 = 3 \, \text{kN} \), \( P_2 = 4 \, \text{kN} \)- Truss dimensions: \( a = 2 \, \text{m} \), \( h = 1.5 \, \text{m} \)- Angle: \( \alpha = 30^\circ \)The reaction at support C (\( N_C \)) is \( 3.608 \, \text{kN} \).Tasks:1. Determine the reactions at support A.2. Using the *method of joints*, determine the forces in all members of the truss.3. Specify whether each member is in tension or compression.### Diagram Explanation- **Structure**: It is a simple triangular truss with points A, B, C, and D.- **Supports**: - Support at A is a pinned support. - Support at C is a roller support, allowing horizontal movement.- **Forces**: - \( P_1 \) acts vertically downwards at point D. - \( P_2 \) acts vertically downwards at point B. - \( N_C \) acts at an angle \( \alpha = 30^\circ \) at point C.- **Distances**: - Horizontal distances between A to B and B to C are both \( a = 2 \, \text{m} \). - The height from A/B line to point D is \( h = 1.5 \, \text{m} \).The truss diagram includes all necessary forces and dimensions for analysis using static equilibrium equations and the method of joints.

Given the truss below, take P₁= 3kN, P₂= 4kN, a= 2m, h=1.5m, a=30°. The reaction at support C (Nc) is 3.608kN, as shown. Determine the reactions at support A. Using the method of joints determine the forces in all members of the truss. Remember to specify whether they are in Tension or Compression.
