Question $2$

With reference to Figure Q$2,$ the truss is comprised entirely of equilateral

triangles; the wind loads of $6KN$ at $J$ and $B$ act perpendicularly to the member

JB$.$ You are to determine the following:

$($a$)$ Force in member DF$.$

$($b$)$ Force in member EF$.$

$($c$)$ Force in member EG$.$

$($d$)$ Force in member EK$.$

For each of the answer given, state clearly whether the force is compression
