Question

A two – member truss PQR is supporting a load W. The axial forces in members PQ and QR are respectively.                                                                                                                                                                  

 

      (a) 2W tensile and $\sqrt{3w}$ compressive

      (b) $\sqrt{3w}$ tensile and 2W compressive

      (c) $\sqrt{3w}$ compressive and 2W tensile

      (d) 2W compressive and $\sqrt{3w}$ tensile
