Question: Problem 1 ( 2 5 points ) The following truss has five nodes ( A , B , C , D , and E )

Problem 1(25 points)
The following truss has five nodes (A, B, C,
D, and E) and seven members. Assume the
dead load (D) is equal to 15-kips, the live load
(L) is equal to 45-kips, and the wind load (W)
is equal to 22-kips applied at PC.
For each of the given factored load
combinations, calculate the reactions at A&E
and forces of truss member DE.
a)1.4**D
b)1.2**D+1.6**L
c)1.2**D+1.0**W+1.0**L
Please complete the table below by filling in the forces (in kips) calculated for each load combination.
Indicate the directions of reactions and positive (+) for tension and negative (-) for compression member.
