Question: Approximate Method - Trusses ( 2 5 points ) : The diagonals of the truss are to be designed to support both tensile and compressive

Approximate Method - Trusses (25 points):
The diagonals of the truss are to be designed to support both tensile and compressive forces (hint. half and half). Assume A is a pin and C is a roller. An external force 20kN is applied at B, and thus the corresponding support reactions are solved as Ay=10kN and Cy=10kN.
(1) Solve for the forces in the members FB and AE;
(2) Solve for the forces in the members FE,AF, and AB.
