The planar truss shown in the figure below (fig.2) is a structure composed of slender members (metal bars) joined at their endpoints. You are asked to: (a) Determine the support reactions observed by the plan truss; joint pin at A, and roller support at F.  (b) Using the joints method determine the force in members “DE”, “DF”, and “DC”. State if these members are in tension [T] or compression [C] (c) Determine all the zero-force members.
