Chapter 6, Problem 38P

5. (2 Points) Determine the force in members BE and BD of the loaded truss. The force are positive if in tension, negative if in compression. Assume F₁ = 2660 lb, F₂ = 3050 lb, a = 5.4 ft, b = 8.2 ft, c = 3.0 ft, and d =4.2 ft. F₁ a E b

Determine the force in members GE, GC, and BC of the truss as shown below. Indicate whether the members are in tension or compression   OPTION:(MULTI CORRECT(MAY BE)): 1.Force in Member BC is about 800 N Compressive 2.Force in Member GE is about 800 N Compression 3.Force in Member GC is about 500 N Tensile 4.Force in Member GC is about 600 N Tensile 5.Force in Member GE is about 700 N Compressive 6.Force in Member BC is about 900 N Compressive 7.Force in Member GC is about 500 N Compressive 8.Force in Member BC is about 900 N Tensile 9.Force in Member BC is about 800 N Tensile 10Force in Member GE is about 700 N Tensile 11.Force in Member GE is about 800 N Tensile 12.Force in Member GC is about 600 N Compressive

Determine the force in members BC, BE, ED of the truss and state if these members are intension or compression. Use method of sections to solve the problem.
