1. (4 points) Neglecting the weights of the members, determine the magnitude of the pin reaction at D when the frame is loaded by the 200-N.m couple.

2. (4 points) Determined the horizontal force P that would keep the uniform 15-kg rectangular plate in the position shown.

3. (4 points) Identify all the zero-force members in the four trusses shown. Can the forces in all the members be found by equilibrium equations alone?

4. (4 points) Determine the reaction at E and the force in each member of the right half of the truss (pins C, D, E and G)

5. (4 points) The walkway ABC of the footbridge is stiffened by adding the cable ADC and the short post of length L. If the tension in the cable is not to exceed 500 lb, what is the smallest value of L for which the 185-lb person can be supported at B?
