Q1. A simply supported pedestrian bridge is to be constructed in a city park and two designs have been proposed as shown in Figure 1, case a and case b, respectively. The truss members are to be made from timber. The dead load and live load transmitted to the bottom joints of the truss are 147.25 N/m and 4500 N/m, respectively. In each case find the member subjected to the largest tension and largest compression load and suggest why you would choose one design over the other. Neglect the weights of the truss members.

I just can't seem to figure this out can you show me what I am doing wrong here please?
I keep getting this one wrong. For T1, I did 370/cos(30) = 427.24 lb tension , and -427.24 x cos(30)= -370. I also tried T1=820, and T2=-710.14, which was not correct as well. Thank you for your help on these two parts
15° An actuator applies a force to a cable to hold the blade in place while the table holding the CheezeT drops away. The cable is redirected over a stationary drum. Determine the maximum load on the actuator and choose a material for the drum (explain your choice). (25 points) Concrete: us=0.5 Teflon: us=0.1 Cheeze Table
1. The given structure, shown in Figure 1, is composed of two beams with a rectangular profile b x h, attached by a pin. The member having length lz is loaded by a vertical force F acting at the mid-point of the member. (a) Calculate the magnitude of the force that can be safely applied to the structure without the loss of stability of the structure during the operation. (b) Write down the steps that you need to perform, including diagrams and symbolical equations needed, to confirm that the magnitude of the force F, computed in section 1a, will not cause a plastic deformation on the beams. Consider oyield =270MPA Note: Your work must be accompanied by a clearly labelled diagrams l1 = 1 m d = 2 m a = 60° F E = 210 GPa %3D b = 15 mm h = 25 mm 1/2 Figure 1
