Question: Consider the truss shown in ( Figure 1 ) . Suppose that ( F = 4 . 5 ) k . Part A

Consider the truss shown in (Figure 1). Suppose that \( F=4.5\) k.
Part A
Determine the force in the member \( B G \) of the truss and state whether it is in tension or compression.
Express your answer in kilopounds to three significant figures. Enter negative value in the case of compression and positive value in the case of tension.
