Consider the truss shown in Figure 2. Two loading cases are applied to
the joints: (1)2 kg of load applied at joint E,(2)1 kg of load applied
at joint D and another 1 kg load applied at joint F.
The trusses have six load cells attached to the struts, as depicted in
Figure 2 by the shaded rectangles 1-6. The struts are connected
through hinges at the joints. Please observe the lab carefully and
record data from the loading cells.
(a) Construct the Free Body Diagram (FBD) for the entire truss in Figure
2 and calculate the supporting forces at point A and point I for
these two cases. According to the calculation results of the two cases,
discuss the impact of loading location.

(b) By using the method of sections, calculate the forces in the struts
with the load cells (1-6) attached for these two cases.
[20%]
(c) Tabulate the results of both the calculation and the measurement
for the two cases. Provide a short discussion of the experimental
laboratory for the truss in Figure 2(half a page maximum) and
compare your analytical results at load cells (1-6) with the
experimental measurements for the two loading cases
CAN YOU PLEASE PROVIDE DETAILED CALCULATIONS FOR ALL THE PARTS. I AM HAVING TROUBLE IN ANSWERING THEM
