determine the forces in members DF, DG, and EG


  

a. Identify zero-force members, if any, and justify your selection

b. Using the method of joints, determine the forces in all members of the truss analytically.

c. Indicate the results on the truss diagram using the arrow sign convention 

d. Identify the members that are subjected to the highest load (Fmax) both in tension and compression

e. Using the method of sections, determine the forces in members DF, DG, and EG

f. Compare these values to those found in point b. above
