The given truss below is loaded vertically downward with 4KN and 8KN at points C and D, respectively, as shown. A model of the truss was made in a laboratory, and it was found out that the values of internal forces in members A-L, A-B, and B-K are as indicated in the table. If the vertical reactions at A and G are 6.667 KN and 5.333 KN respectively, complete the table and answer the succeeding questions. Approximate all answers up to three decimal places.
