tan α = 1.5/4 & tan θ = 3/2

F1: Joint 1; ∑Y = 0  F1 − 6 = 0  F1 = 6 t (Comp.)

F2: Sec. s-s; ∑MaL = 0  F2 (8) – 6 (4) = 0  F2 = 3 t (Comp.)

F3: Sec. n-n; ∑M @ 3R = 0  F3 (3) + 6 (4) − 15 (8) − 12 (3) = 0  F3 = 44 t (Comp.)

F4: Sec. m-m; ∑M @ bR = 0  F4 sin α (8) − 6 (4) = 0  F4 = 8.54 t (Tension)

F5: Sec. z-z; ∑M @ 5Low. = 0  F5 sin θ (8) + 6 (4) − 12 (3) = 0  F5 = 1.8 t (Comp.)

F6: Joint 6; ∑Y = 0  F6 sin θ − F6* sin θ = 0  F6* = F6

Sec. q-q; ∑M @ cLow. = 0  F6 cos θ (6) + F6* cos θ (6) − 12 (3) = 0  2 F6 cos θ (6) = 36
