To determine the forces in members \( FE \), \( EB \), and \( BC \), as well as whether they are in tension or compression, we can use methods such as the *method of joints* or *method of sections*. I’ll go through the solution step-by-step for each member.

### Step 1: Analyzing the Structure
1. **Identify Supports**: The structure has a pinned support at \( A \) and a roller support at \( D \).
2. **Calculate Reactions**: Begin by calculating the reaction forces at \( A \) and \( D \) due to the external loads (11 kN at \( B \) and 22 kN at \( C \)).

### Step 2: Reaction Forces Calculation
- Sum of vertical forces: 
  \[
  R_{Ay} + R_{Dy} = 11 + 22 = 33 \text{ kN}
  \]

- Taking moments about point \( A \) to find \( R_{Dy} \):
  \[
  R_{Dy} \cdot 5.5 = (11 \times 2) + (22 \times 4) = 88 \text{ kN}\cdot \text{m}
  \]
  \[
  R_{Dy} = \frac{88}{5.5} = 16 \text{ kN}
  \]

- Substituting \( R_{Dy} = 16 \) kN back to find \( R_{Ay} \):
  \[
  R_{Ay} = 33 - 16 = 17 \text{ kN}
  \]

### Step 3: Solving for Internal Forces Using Method of Joints
Let's solve for the forces in members \( FE \), \( EB \), and \( BC \) by examining the joints \( F \), \( E \), and \( B \).

1. **Joint \( F \)**: Analyze forces at joint \( F \) to determine the force in member \( FE \).
2. **Joint \( E \)**: Use joint \( E \) to find the force in members \( FE \) and \( EB \).
3. **Joint \( B \)**: Use joint \( B \) to find the force in member \( BC \) and confirm the force in \( EB \).

Each of these forces can be calculated based on the geometry and loads applied to the structure.

Would you like me to go through each joint’s calculation in detail, or do you have any specific part you’d like help with?

### Follow-up Questions:
1. What is the method of joints in truss analysis, and how does it apply here?
2. Can you explain the difference between tension and compression in truss members?
3. How does the method of sections differ from the method of joints?
4. What assumptions are made in truss analysis regarding loads and joints?
5. How would the results change if one of the loads was removed or altered?

### Tip:
When analyzing trusses, always start by calculating reaction forces at supports. This simplifies the process of finding internal forces in members.

Determine the force developed in members FE, EB, and BC of the truss and state if these members are in tension or compression.

Analyze the forces in truss members FE, EB, and BC using the method of joints and sections to determine if they are in tension or compression. This problem demonstrates key concepts in statics, equilibrium, and truss analysis for engineering students.
