Problem $2$

The truss is supported by a pin at A and a roller at $E.$

The weight of each member can be neglected.

Determine the magnitude of the axial force in each truss member

and state whether it is in tension $(T)$ or compression $($C$).$

Provide a "Summary of Results" at the end of your solution.
