The truss shown is supporting the service dead and live loads show. Calculate the factored load in member BC (tension member) and member \( \mathrm{GH} \) (compression member). Select a C4 or C5 channel \( (\mathrm{Fy}=36 \mathrm{ksi}, \mathrm{Fu}=58 \mathrm{ksi}) \) for member BC. It is connected by 1 in bolts at its flanges. There are four bolts in each flange with 3 in on center. Check that the slenderness ratio is less than 300 . Select the lightest \( \mathrm{C} 15 \) section \( (\mathrm{Fy}=36 \mathrm{ksi}, \mathrm{Fu}=58 \mathrm{ksi}) \) for the compression member \( \mathrm{GH} \). Consider it pin connected \( (\mathrm{K}=1.0) \).
