Without
solving
for
the
support
reactions,
determine
the
forces
experienced
by
members
EC
and
EF
using
method
of
joints.
State
if
they
are
in
tension
or
in
compression.
PART

For
the
beam
loading
shown,
a) Draw
the
shear
and
bending
moment
diagrams.
Indicate
clearly
the
coordinates
in
each
diagram
and
the
degree
of
each
slope.
b) Determine
the
maximum
shear
force
and
the
maximum
bending
moment.
Hint:
For
the
8
kN
load
at
point
E,
find
its
equivalent
force-couple
system
at
point
D.
