Question: The truss structure w / c is represented is a wing drag bracing truss subjected to chordwise load w / F 1 F 4 represents

The truss structure w/c is represented is a wing drag bracing truss subjected to chordwise load w/F1F4 represents the front spar of the wing; R1F2,R2F3,&R3F4 the drag brace wires; R2F2 & R3F3 the drag struts; and R1R3 the rear spar.
Neglecting the weights of each member, determine:
Reactions RF,RR & RC.(15 pts)
Reactions of the front spar F1F2, drag brace wire R1F2, & rear spar R1R2.(30 pts)
Axial stresses of the front spar F1F2, drag brace wire R1F2, & rear spar R1R2.(15 pts) Front spar area: 2 in ?2
Drag brace wire: 1.75in2
Rear spar area: 1.5 in ?2
Factors of safety of the front spar F1F2, drag brace wire R1F2, & rear spar R1R2 if the maximum allowable axial tensile stress is 15000 psi & the maximum allowable axial compressive stress is 10000 psi. (15 pts)
The truss structure w / c is represented is a
