The truss in Fig. 3 is made from five members, each having a length of 4 m and a mass of 7 kg/m. If the mass of the gusset plates at the joints and the thickness of the members can be neglected, determine the distance d to where the hoisting cable must be attached, so that the truss does not rotate when it is lifted. y d 4 m C B 4 m 4 m 4 m 60° A 4 m Fig. 3 D
