Truss forces?

I get confused with this stuff XD

Will XZ and the top part be in compression? '08 examiner's report says XY and YZ are in tension, they are correct, yes?

Yep, they'll both be in compression. Think about pulling the structure down from the midpoint, and what will happen then. Makes it a lot easier.

XY and YZ are in tension.
