The pin jointed truss shown in Figure is subjected to the loads shown. It is supported by a pin support at Joint 1 and a roller support at Joint 5. (a) On a sketch of the structure show the reaction components at the supports (b) By considering the total number of members, joints and reaction components verify that the structure is statically determinate. (c) Using the equations of equilibrium, solve for the reaction components (d) What is the force in member 2-3? (e) Use the Method of Joints to solve for the forces in members 4-5 and 3-4 (f) Use the Method of Sections to solve for the force in member \( 1-3 \)
