The truss shown is used to support the floor deck. The uniform load on the deck is \(3 \mathrm{k} / \mathrm{ft}\). This load is transferred from the deck to the floor beams, which rest on the top joints of the truss. Determine the force in each member of the truss, and state if the members are in tension or compression. Assume all members are pin connected.
