For the truss shown below, a single force of 130lb is loaded at joint A. Provided that the support at D is a pinned support and at G is a roller support, determine (a) the number of zero force members (no working out necessary), (b) the loads in members CF and FG using the method of sections, and clearly state whether they are in tension or compression. (Show the FBD and all working out clearly). Here, a is 22.62° (degrees) D B A 3 ft 130 lb a E 3 ft 3 ft 4 ft F 3 ft 4 ft O G 3 ft
