The signboard truss is designed to support a horizontal wind load of 775 lb. A separate analysis shows that 5/8 of this force is transmitted to the center connection at C and the rest is equally divided between D and B. Calculate the forces in members BE and BC. The forces are positive if in tension, negative if in compression. 775 lb Answers: B 7.2' G 7.2' 3.6' F T 6.0' 6.0' 6.0' BE= i lb BC= lb
