Question $2$: For the following truss:

a$)$ Calculate the degree of static indeterminacy $($SI$)$ and state if it is determinate or indeterminate.

b$)$ Find any zero force members and clearly mark them on your FBD$.$

c$)$ Using as efficient a method as you can $($Method of Sections$),$ determine the force in members $EF,EP,LK$ and state if they are in tension or compression.

d$)$ Using the cut shown below $(d-d,$ determine the force in member $FP$ and state if is tension or compression.

e$)$ Comment on the number of unknowns in part d$)$ and why you were able to solve the problem. Could you find all the remaining unknowns in this section?

$A$ is a pin

I is a roller
