Question

Determine force in BC, BH HC and label under tension or compression. 

### Problem 3

#### Diagram Description:
The diagram represents a truss structure supported at one end and with multiple forces acting vertically downward on it. The truss is composed of horizontal and diagonal members, labeled as follows:
- Horizontal members: AB, BC, CD, DE, and EF
- Vertical members: AJ, BI, CH, DG, and EK
- Diagonal members: BI, CH, DG, and EK

The truss is anchored to a vertical wall at points A and J. The forces and distances on the truss are specified as:

- From A to B: 2 ft with a downward force of 80 lb
- From B to C: 2 ft with a downward force of 80 lb
- From C to D: 2 ft with a downward force of 60 lb
- From D to E: 1.5 ft with a downward force of 40 lb
- Vertical height from points J, I, H, G, F to A, B, C, D, E is 2 ft

#### Task:
Determine the force in members BC, BH, and HC.
