Question

From the truss shown in the figure 

(a) Calculate the left and right support reactions for the truss. For the left hand
side reaction, provide the magnitude and direction of the horizontal and
vertical components.
(b) Using the method of joints or method of sections, calculate the forces in the
members a, b, c, d, e, f, and g. For non-zero forces, state tension or
compression for each member.

For the truss shown below disregarding the weight of the structure:
