Problem $5$

Practice problem which will not be graded: Here is an additional problem that you can use for practice. I have provided the numerical solutions below to check your work. You do not have to provide a solution for this problem as it will not be graded.

Determine the force in each member of the double scissors truss in terms of the load $P$ and state if the members are in tension or compression.

$N_{FE}=0\mathrm{.}67P(T),N_{FD}=1\mathrm{.}67P(T),N_{AB}=-0\mathrm{.}47P(C),N_{AE}=1\mathrm{.}67P(T),N_{AC}=-1\mathrm{.}49P(C),N_{BF}=$

$1\mathrm{.}41P(T),N_{BD}=-1\mathrm{.}49P(C),N_{EC}=1\mathrm{.}41P(T),N_{CD}=-0\mathrm{.}47P(C)$
