Consider the weightless truss shown in the diagram. Two forces F1 = 70 kips and F2 = 140 kips are applied to the truss as shown. The length of each span is X = 14 m Determine the magnitude of the vertical reaction forces of the left and right supports. Determine the tension or compression forces in each of the truss beams. Note: Use the convention: Tensions are positive, Compressions are negative F1 B D C |FA vertical= |FA horizontal= FC vertical |FC horizontal= FAB FAD X FBC= FBD= FCD= 30° ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
