1. Determine the reaction and force in each member of the truss by method of joints shown in
Fig.1 and indicate whether the members are in tension or compression?

Fig.1

2. Determine the force in each member of the truss shown in Fig. 2 .Indicate whether the members
are in tension or compression by using method of joints.

3. Determine the greatest load P that can be applied to the truss so that none of the members are
subjected to a force exceeding either 2 kN in tension or 1.5 kN in compression.
