STATICS : METHOD OF SECTIONS - GET THE GIVEN, WHAT IS ASKED, AND THE ANSWER. - MAKE A PROPER FREE BODY DIAGRAM. (IT DOES HAVE THE GREATER POINTS IN THIS ACTIVITY) - YOUR SUB ANSWERS MUST BE IN 6 DECIMAL PLACES. - YOUR FINAL ANSWER MUST BE IN 4 DECIMAL PLACES. - TELL THE DIRECTION AND WHETHER IT IS TENSILE OR COMPRESSION. - WRITE YOUR SOLUTION PROPERLY (EASY TO UNDERSTAND). - I PROVIDED A SAMPLE PROBLEM SO THAT YOU WILL KNOW HOW TO SOLVE IT.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
Solve the forces in PQ, FL, QG, and QM.
Hint: Identify all zero-force members and remove them from the structure. In the summation of moments, look for a point where member forces at the supports converge so that their moment arm is zero. From here you will be able to solve PQ. Solve FL using summation of moments from the other half of the section. Solve QG and QM using Method of Joints.
