Question: The roof truss serves to support a crane rail which is attached to the bottom cord of the truss as shown. Determine the maximum force

The roof truss serves to support a crane rail which is attached to the bottom cord of the truss as shown. Determine the maximum force (tension or compression) that can be developed in member \(G F\), due to the crane load of \(15 \mathrm{k}\). supported at \(A\) by a pin and at \(E\) by a roller. Also, assume all members are pin-connected at the gusset plates. Specify the position \(x\) of the load. Assume the truss is

A x H B C 15 k 12 ft- 12 ft 12

A x H B C 15 k 12 ft- 12 ft 12 ft. 12 ft- E 12 ft
