Please solve problem #9 and explain how do you find a=8 I know that a=8 but I want to know how to find it in a mathematical way.and show all of your work in pictures please.

Transcribed Image Text:6-9. Determine the force in each member of the truss in terms of the
external loading and state if the members are in tension or
compression.
6-10. The maximum allowable tensile force in the members of the truss
is (Ft) max = 1500 lb, and the maximum allowable compressive force is
(Fc) max = 800 lb. Determine the maximum magnitude P of the two loads
that can be applied to the truss. Take a = 8 ft.
