Question: ( 2 ) Truss Analysis by Hand using Method of Joints - - Checking with SkyCiv ( 1 0 pts ) Consider the truss structure

(2) Truss Analysis by Hand using Method of Joints--Checking with SkyCiv (10 pts) Consider the truss structure shown in Figure 3.
(a) Determine the force in each of the members of the truss in terms of P and state whether each member is in tension or compression, using the Method of Joints. (present your answers in Table 2)
(b) If the magnitude of P is 400N, determine the values of the forces in the truss members. (add to Table 2)
(c) Check your answer with SkyCiv, including a plot of your SkyCiv Model and a table of member forces.
(d) If the maximum tension in any member is to be limited to 1000N, and the maximum compression to 500N, what is the largest allowable magnitude of the force P?
