Quantitavly determine the forces in members JI, JE, and ED in the truss shown in figure 4.37(Q5) by a method-of-sections approach. How would the force in member JI be affected if the overall depth of the structure were doubled? How would the forces in members JI and JE be affected if the depth of the truss were continually decreased until it approached zero?
