  1. For the truss shown in the figure, the forces F1 and F2 are 9 kN and 3 kN, respectively. The force (in kN) in the member QS is (All dimensions are in m)

    1. 11.25 tension
    2. 11.25 compression
    3. 13.5 tension
    4. 13.5 compression
Correct Option: A

By method of sections

∑V = 0
F1 = FQS sin 53.1
⇒ FQS = 11.25(T)
