Question: Calculate the vertical reaction at support B when the horizontal force, ( mathrm { X } = 5 mathrm { kN }

Calculate the vertical reaction at support B when the horizontal force, \(\mathrm{X}=5\mathrm{kN}\) and the vertical force, \(\mathrm{Y}=14\mathrm{kN}\) are applied to the truss. (Note: Assume that forces pointing to the right are positive) Calculate by hand the forces in member \( A B \) using the Resolution at Joints method when the horizontal force, \( X=4\mathrm{kN}\) and the vertical force, \(\mathrm{Y}=12\mathrm{kN}\) are applied to the truss. (Note assume tension forces are positive) Calculate by hand the forces in member CE using the Resolution at Joints method when the horizontal force, X \(=5\mathrm{kN}\) and the vertical force, \(\mathrm{Y}=11\mathrm{kN}\) are applied to the truss. (Note assume tension forces are positive) Calculate by hand the force in member ED using the Resolution at Joints method when the horizontal force, X \(=7\mathrm{kN}\) and the vertical force, \(\mathrm{Y}=10\mathrm{kN}\) are applied to the truss. (Note assume tension forces are positive)
