Determine the axial forces of the indicated members of the different truss and
indicate whether they are in tension or compression. Determine also the number of
rivets necessary to connect them in a 9 mm gusset plate. The allowable shearing
stress is 85 MPa and allowable bearing stress is 110 MPa. Tabulate the final answers
in the table below.
