The symmetrical scissors truss shown below is supported


The symmetrical scissors truss shown below is supported atpoint A and D. The support at D is a rocker bearing and does notproduce a horizontal reaction. A, B, C, D, E & F are pinjoints. The members of the truss are not joined to each other wherethey cross. At A, the angle between AB and AE is 45° and theangle between AC and AE is 26.57°. The magnitude ofthe load, E kN is 79.1 and the load at F kN is changed from88.7 so that the vertical reaction at A is 57.3kN. You may assumeany (reasonable or convenient) length for L in your calculations.For example, if L = 3m, then L/3 = 1m. Determine the magnitude of the axial force in members AB, CD, and AE.
