A truss supports the loading shown. Determine the equivalent forceacting on the truss and the point of intersection of its line of actionwith a line drawn through points $A$ and $G.$(Figure cant copy)

Step by Step Solution: Step 1. Resolve all the forces into horizontal and vertical components. Step 2. Draw the free body diagram of the truss. Step 3. Solve for the reaction forces at points A and G. Step 4. Apply equations of equilibrium to solve for the remaining forces on the truss. Step 5. Combine the forces to get the equivalent force acting on the truss. Step 6. To find the intersection point of the line of action and a line through points A and G, first determine the line of action of the force using moment equilibrium about any point. Step 7. Substitute the known values to get the coordinates of the intersection point. Final Answer: The equivalent force acting on the truss is 10.14 kN downwards and its line of action intersects the line through points A and G at (2.66, -0.11).
