The final answers for the forces in each member of the truss are as follows:

1. **Force in member AB** = 6.6 N (Compression)
2. **Force in member AD** = 8.8 N (Compression)
3. **Force in member BD** = 11 N (Tension)
4. **Force in member CD** = 8.8 N (Compression)
5. **Force in member CB** = 6.6 N (Compression)

Let me know if you need a breakdown of these calculations or further explanation.

1. How would the forces change if the load \( P \) was doubled?
2. What would happen if the load was applied at a different joint?
3. How can we calculate the angles between each member and the horizontal?
4. What is the significance of tension vs. compression in truss members?
5. How do reactions at points \( A \) and \( C \) affect the truss stability?

### Quick Tip:
In truss analysis, always start by finding support reactions using equilibrium equations before analyzing individual members.

Given a = 4m, and a load P = 11N applied at point D. Determine the force in each member of the truss and indicate if the members are in tension or compression. Assume tension to be positive.

Determine the forces in each member of a truss structure with a span of 4m and a load of 11N applied at point D. This problem uses truss analysis concepts like the method of joints and equilibrium of forces, identifying tension and compression in members. Suitable for engineering students.
