  • Question: 6-9. Determine the force in each member of the truss in terms of the external loading and state if the members are in tension or compression. 6-10. The maximum allowable tensile force in the members of the truss is (Ft)max=1500lb, and the maximum allowable compressive force is (Fc)max=800lb. Determine the maximum magnitude P of the two loads that can be

The maximum allowable tensile force in the members of the truss is (Ft)max=1500lb, and the maximum allowable compressive force is (Fc)max=800lb. Determine the maximum magnitude P of the two loads that can be applied to the truss. Take a=8ft. Probs. 6-9/10
