Given the truss shown in the figure below: - Complete the overall free body diagram for the truss by drawing ALL the reaction forces at A and L. L is a roller and A is a pin. - Determine the reactions at supports A and L. - Use the Method of Sections to determine the force in members HJ,HK, and IK and state if the member is in tension or compression. Draw the FBD of the section. - Use the Method of Joints to determine the force in members FH and HI and state if the member is in tension or compression. Draw the FBD of the joint(s).
