4. The truss shown consists of 45° triangles. The cross members in the two center panels that do not touch each other are slender bars which are incapable of carrying compressive loads. Identify the two tension members in these panels and determine the forces they support. Also determine the force in member MN.

In the truss system shown determine the forces in members EK, LF, FK and CN, state whether they work in tension (T) or compression (C). Crossed members do not touch each other and are slender bars that can only support tensile loads.
