The truss shown in the figure (Figure 1) supports a railway bridge. Determine the compressive or tension force (component along the line of the strut) in each strut if a 57-ton (1 ton = 1000 kg) train locomotive is stopped at the midpoint between the center and one end. Ignore the masses of the rails and truss, and use only 1/2 the mass of train because there are two trusses (one on each side of the train). Assume all triangles are equilateral. [Hint: See in the figure.]

Express your answer using two significant figures.

FAB = __N

FAC = __N

FBC = __ N
FDB = __ N

FDC = __ N

FCE = __ N

FDE  =  __ N

FED = __ N
