Figure $1$

Using the method of sections, determine the force in members BE and CE for the loaded truss shown in Figure $1.$ Indicate if the member is in tension or compression. The truss is connected with a pin at point A and has a roller support at point $F.$

Use a sign convention that negative forces occur in compressive members. Within on $Q$ provide the force in member $BE($use a negative if member is in compression$).$

$F1=20kN$

$F2=30kN$

The length of members AB$,$ BD$,$ DF are each $5m.$
