Consider the truss shown in $($Figure $1).$ Suppose that $F=6\mathrm{.}5kN.$ Hint: Although

this truss is indeterminate to the first degree, a solution is possible due to

symmetry of geometry and loading

Determine the force in the member $BC$ of the truss.

Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. Enter a negative value in the case of compression and a positive value in the case of tension.
