For point E, I don't understand the explanation. All I heard was "I selected this direction of these three forces like this, " what does this mean? How can you just select the direction of forces?

what would happen if we have a roller at point C

[brandontapia]

Would it matter if we say the force fcd is acting to the left instead of the right at joint D?

Thank you so much! Do you think you could explain 6-42 please? I'm looking at some solutions and some methods some people use for that one but all my equations end up in Tension, when I do it, instead of Compression and I'm not sure how and why that is.

If you could also explain 7-8 and 7-13 from this book when you have time I'd greatly appreciate it! Thank you for this channel!

I thought it will be a compression force when the force is negative. I don't understand the explanation of Tension and compression
