Problem $1$:

Figure $1$ below illustrates a truss that will be used in the roof of a storage facility to protect construction

materials from the elements. The truss is subjected to a uniform factored load of $50k\frac{N}{m}.$ Using the

tributary width of each node, you can resolve this projected load into point loads.

$($a$)$ Determine the internal loads in the truss chord and web members, state if they are in Tension or

Compression. What is the largest tensile force in the web members.
