6-10, Each member of the truss is uniform and has a mass
‘of Skg/m, Remove the external loads of 6 kN and 8 KN and,
determine the approximate force in each member due to
‘the weight of the truss. State if the members are in tension
‘or compression. Solve the problem by assuming the weight
‘of each member can be represented as a vertical foree,
half of which is applied at each end of the member.
