Determine the force in members $\backslash ($ F E$,$ F B $\backslash ),$ and $\backslash ($ B C $\backslash )$ of the truss and state if the members are in tension or compression. After sectioning the truss, solve for each force directly using a single equilibrium equation to obtain each force. Assume that all joints are pin connected, $\backslash ($ P$\_\{1\}=700\backslash$mathrm$\{$lb$\}\backslash )$ and $\backslash ($ P$\_\{2\}=1200\backslash$mathrm$\{$lb$\}\backslash ).($Figure $1)$

Determine the force in member $\backslash ($ F E $\backslash )$ of the truss.

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.
