The truss is fabricated using uniform members having a mass of 5kg/m. Remove the external forces from the truss, and determine the force in each member due to the weight of the truss. State whether the members are in tension or compression. Assume that the total force acting on a joint is the sum of half of the weight of every member connected to thejoint.
