Part A

Determine the force in members $FE,FB,$ and $BC$ 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, $P_1=600lb$ and $P_2=1100lb.($Figure $1)$
