Chapter 6, Problem 55P

3. Given the truss shown below, determine the force in members CD, CE, BE, CB and AB and state whether the members are in tension or compression. 500 Ib 500 lb - 3 ft-3 ft- -3 ft- 6 ft 800 lb BO 6 ft A -9 ft

6. Determine the force in member HI, FI, and EF of the truss.

Calculate the force in member GH of the truss and indicate whether it is in tension or compression, using either method of joints or method of sections. Required: Draw the FBD(s) as needed for analysis-all equilibrium equations must correspond to a FBD that you have drawn. Make sure to clearly indicate which FBD your equation(s) correspond to. K J H 4 ft C - 3 ft 3 ft -- 3 ft- 3 ft-3 ft 1500 lb 1500 lb 1500 lb 1500 lb 1500 lb
