Solve the reactions and show your detailed solution:
1. Determine the forces in each member of the truss
and state whether it is tension or compression

2. Determine the force in each member of

the truss
and state whether it is tension or compression.

3. Determine the force in each member of the

truss
and state whether it is in tension or compression.
