Solve this please:
(c) A truss section of a wind turbine foundation is being transported on a barge. It is simply supported on the deck fastenings, has wind resistance of 1.5 kN acting horizontally forward at point B, the overall structural mass of 10 kN acting vertically down at point C, and a steady sea load (HF) acts horizontally forwards at point F (Figure Q1.1). 2m D 2m 2m 2m Figure Q1.1 Assuming the truss structure is pin jointed: (i) Draw a free body diagram of the truss showing all the forces and moments acting on the member and all reaction forces and moments. (ii) Calculate the reaction forces at A and F. (iii) Draw the free body diagram at joint A and determine the forces in AB and AC. State whether they are in compression or tension. (iv) Determine the forces in the remaining members, indicating if each is in compression or tension.
