Question
**Problem Statement:**

Solve for \( AB \), \( BH \), and \( HG \). Use only one section cut.

**Diagram Explanation:**

The image depicts a truss structure with several joints and members labeled. The truss rests on supports at points \( A \) and \( E \). A 24 kips load is applied downward at point \( F \).

- **Members (represented as lines between joints):**
  - \(\overline{AB}\), \(\overline{BC}\), \(\overline{CD}\), \(\overline{DE}\), \(\overline{HE}\), \(\overline{HF}\), \(\overline{HG}\)
  
- **Joints:**
  - \( A, B, C, D, E, H, G, F \)

- **Dimensions:**
  - Horizontal members: 12 feet
  - Vertical members: 9 feet for some vertical members
  - Diagonal members: Dimensions are not specified but can be derived from other dimensions.

**Supports:**
- \( A \) is a pin support.
- \( E \) is a roller support.

**Load:**
- A concentrated load of 24 kips downward at joint \( F \).

**Objective:**
- Calculate the forces in members \( \overline{AB} \), \( \overline{BH} \), and \( \overline{HG} \) using the method of sections. Apply the section cut strategically to isolate and solve for the desired member forces.
