Question: 1 . 3 1 0 2 0 1 . 3 1 0 2 0 electrons flow through a cross section of a 2 . 1

1.310201.31020electrons flow through a cross section of a2.1-mmmm-diameteriron wire in6.0s The truss in the following figure has a \(2\times 4\) lower chord of Select Structural SPF - South (Spruce-Pine-Fir) and a \(2\times 10\) top chord of No.2 Hem-fir. The loads shown are the results of \( D=20\mathrm{psf}\) and \( S=55\) psf acting vertically over the 20' span. There is no reduction of area for fasteners. \( C_{M}=\)\( C_{t}=C_{i}=1.0\). Joints are assumed to be pin-connected. Trusses are spaced 4 ft on center. The top of the truss is fully supported along its length by roof sheathing. Check the combined compression and bending in the top chord using LRFD.
Please note that this is the same structure of your Homework \#5 Problem 1. Follow this structural analysis guideline to estimate the bending moment in the top chord and additional distributed force at the top chord cause by
Guideline on the Structural Analysis portion: Since the actual loading is a distributed forces acting on a projecting plane on the top chords, this distributed force will induce bending moment on the top chord. In Homework 5 Problem 1, we have done an approximation of the axial force in the top chord (see solution for Homework 5 Problem 1). Therefore, the remaining structural analysis to be completed is by calculating the maximum moment at the top chord \( A D \) or \( F C \)(note the symmetric characteristic of the structure and the loadings). To calculate the maximum moment, please consider a simply supported model (because the truss member is pinned at both ends) with distributed forces acting on the projected plan (See Figure 2). For ease of analysis, you may want to project the distributed forces to be perpendicular with the member (\(\underline{w}_{w_{1}}\)). We will ignore the component of distributed forces along the member (\(\underline{w}_{u x}\)) in this analysis. In general, \(\underline{w}_{u_{j \underline{g}}}\) will increase the axial load we obtained from Homework 5 Problem 1. So, first calculate the \( y \) component (\(\underline{w}_{\underline{u} v}\)) of this distributed force
