Question: Part A Consider the truss shown in ( Figure 1 ) . Suppose that F 1 = 2 5 0 l b , F 2

Part A
Consider the truss shown in (Figure 1). Suppose that F1=250lb,F2=550lb and F3=400lb. All interior angles are 60. Assume all members are pin connected.
Determine the force in member AB and state if the member is in tension or compression.
Express your answer in pounds to three significant figures. Enter negative value in the case of compression and positive value in the case of tension.
