Question: Problem 4 ( 1 0 pts - extra credit ) For the truss in Fig. 4 ( with x = hat ( e ) 1

Problem 4(10 pts - extra credit)
For the truss in Fig. 4(with x=hat(e)1,y=hat(e)2, and z=hat(e)3). Calculate:
(a) The support reaction forces at A,B, and C. Express the solution in the frame E{hat(e)1,hat(e)2,hat(e)3}. Note that
B and C are connected to the ground and wall by means of rigid struts but they are not part of the
truss. The truss has five members and four pins. (5 pts)
(b) The forces (magnitude) in all the members of the truss. Specify whether they are in tension or compres-
sion. (5 pts)
