The truss below is supported by a pin at A and a roller at G.
Show all diagrams and required calculations for full credit.
(a) Using the method of sections, determine the forces in members EG, EF and DF.
(b) Using the method of joints, determine the forces in members CE, DE, CD and BD.
(c) Identify all zero force members in the truss (no additional calculations are necessary after completing parts (a) and (b)).
For all members state if they are in tension or compression. Summarize your results in the table below.
