Hey everyone, i know this is a odd place to ask for help for this sort of thing, but i'm really struggling with this question

any help at all would be very very very greatly appreciated

CF = -2,058 kN (compression)

Edit: tension -> compression 

thanks so much, i just got the same thing, i feel really good that someone else got it too.. thanks again!

No problem. I like trusses. Life is much easier now. During first year on my Technical University I was forbiden to use programs for stuff like this... I assume you've solved this truss without computer? What kind of method for trusses and girders do you prefer?

Well we've only just begun using trusses, so i don't know much about them (first year uni) but I was using the Method of Section, pretty much all i know along with method of joints.. i don't prefer either :P
