Need Force for 

Member AC

Member BC

### Problem Statement

Consider the given structure with \( P = 62 \, \text{kN} \) and \( Q = 49 \, \text{kN} \).

### Diagram Description

The diagram depicts a truss structure with joints labeled as \( A \), \( B \), \( C \), and \( D \). 

- **Joints and Supports:**
  - Joint \( B \) is supported on a horizontal surface.
  - Joint \( D \) has a vertical support below it.

- **Members:**
  - \( AB \): Member connecting joint \( A \) and joint \( B \).
  - \( AC \): Member connecting joint \( A \) and joint \( C \).
  - \( AD \): Member connecting joint \( A \) and joint \( D \).
  - \( CD \): Member connecting joint \( C \) and joint \( D \).

- **Loads:**
  - A horizontal force \( P \) of 62 kN acts to the right at joint \( A \).
  - A vertical force \( Q \) of 49 kN acts downward at joint \( D \).

- **Distances:**
  - The horizontal distance between \( B \) and \( D \) is 4.8 m, divided equally at \( C \) (2.4 m each).
  - The vertical distance from \( A \) to the line \( BD \) is 0.7 m.

### Question

Using the method of joints, determine the force in each member of the truss shown. State whether each member is in tension (\( T \)) or compression (\( C \)).
