The Pratt roof trusses are uniformly spaced every 3.60 m. The deck, roofing material, and the purlins have an average weight of 0.15 kN/m^2. The building is located in the hills where the anticipated wind load is 2.10 kN/m^2. The wind load is assumed act perpendicular towards the top chord of the roof (side AHG only). Considering the given loads, determine the following: a.) Equivalent concentrated load on Joint A, H, G, F and E due to dead load b.) Equivalent concentrated load on Joint A, H and G due to wind load c.) Force in each member due to dead load and wind load. Neglect the weight of the truss members and assume A is pinned and E is a roller

Question
2.) The Pratt roof trusses are uniformly spaced every 3.60 m. The deck, roofing material, and the purlins have an average weight of 0.15 kN/m^2. The building is located in the hills where the anticipated wind load is 2.10 kN/m^2. The wind load is assumed act perpendicular towards the top chord of the roof (side AHG only).
Considering the given loads, determine the following:
a.) Equivalent concentrated load on Joint A, H, G, F and E due to dead load
b.) Equivalent concentrated load on Joint A, H and G due to wind load
c.) Force in each member due to dead load and wind load. Neglect the weight of the truss members
and assume A is pinned and E is a roller
