1. a) The maximum allowable tensile force in the members of the truss is (Fr)max = 5 kN, and the maximum allowable compressive force is (Fe)max = 3 kN. Determine the maximum magnitude P of the two loads that can be applied to the truss. b) Modify the five-member truss system in order to increase the above maximum load P about 10% while maintaining the above maximum tensile and compressive force in each truss member. Explain your modification that you suggested and show the calculation results for the new maximum magnitude of P. P P 2m D 30° 2 m A C 2 m 2m B
