Consider the truss shown in Figure 2 . It has a mass of 1,2 or \( 3 \mathrm{~kg} \) applied at one joint " \( \mathrm{B} \) ", " \( C \) " or " \( \mathrm{D} \) " (Please use the parameters and data you get at your lab session). The trusses have six load cells attached to the struts, as depicted in Figure 2 by the black rectangles 1-6. The struts are connected through hinges at the joints.
(b) By using the method of sections, calculate the forces in the struts with the load cells (1-6) attached.
