    The document describes determining forces in members of a Howe roof truss. It contains the steps to solve for forces at each joint (A, B, C, D, E, F) by considering equilibrium. The solution shows the forces in members AB, BD, BE, and DE are: AB is in 4041.45 lb compression; BD is in 3464.10 lb compression; BE is 2598.07 lb tension; and DE is in 5196.15 lb compression.
