A crane is constructed from two side trusses. If a load of 4 kN is suspended from one of these trusses as shown, determine the force in members FG, GK, and <KJ. State whether the members are in tension or compression. Assume the joints are pin-connected.
[A].
KG = 2.66 kN C, KJ = 4.00 kN C, FG = 5.96 kN T
[B].
KG = 5.66 kN T, KJ = 4.00 kN C, FG = 17.89 kN T
[C].
KG = 0, KJ = 4.00 kN C, FG = 8.94 kN T
[D].
KG = 1.886 kN C, KJ = 4.00 kN C, FG = 5.96 kN T
