METHOD OF JOINTS. State Whether The Force Is in Tension or in Compression

The document provides instructions for an engineering mechanics assignment involving determining forces in various truss members using two methods. Students are asked to use the method of joints to determine forces in members of 5 truss configurations, and use the method of sections to determine forces in specific members of 6 different truss configurations, stating whether each force is tension or compression.
