*Prob. 1.4-6. A portion of the boom of a crane at a construc-<br>tion site is shown in Fig. P1.4-6. The cable from the lift motor<br>to the cargo sling is parallel to BE and FI and passes over a<br>pulley that is supported by a frictionless pin at A. The weight<br>of the sling and pallet being lifted is W = 6 kN. Neglecting<br>the weight of the truss members and the weight of the pulley<br>and cable, (a) determine the axial force in each of the follow-<br>ing members: F, (in member BC), F2 (in member CF), F; (in<br>member FG), and F, (in member DG). (b) If member 4 were<br>to be attached between joints C and H, instead of between<br>joints D and G, would the force F, be the same in either<br>case?
