Consider the space truss represented schematically in Figure QA1 with 12 struts in cluded: "A-G", "A-E", "A-H", "B-H", "CE", "C-G", "C-F", "D-F", "E-F", "F- G", "G-H" and "H-E". It has a 500 N force applied at joints "E" and "G" and a 450 N force applied at joints "F" and "H". Using the method of joints, calculate the forces for all struts of the space truss in Figure QA1 and specify if the struts are in tension or in compression. (Your submission must include the Free Body Diagram (FBD) of each joint you isolate and the application of the correspon ding equilibrium equations for the FBD). 500N 450N 450N 500N YH Ey 8m + X 4m 2m 4m 3m 5m 3m Consider the space truss represented schematically in Figure QA1 with 12 struts in cluded: "A-G", "A-E", "A-H", "B-H", "CE", "C-G", "C-F", "D-F", "E-F", "F- G", "G-H" and "H-E".
