Problem 6.26
The maximum allowable tensile force in the members of the truss is (Ft) max = 5 kN, and the maximum allowable compressive force is (Fc)max = 3.4 kN. (Figure 1)

Part A
Determine the maximum magnitude P of the two loads that can be applied to the truss. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
