A water channel 12 feet wide is blocked by a rectangular barrier shown by member ABD. Four supporting struts (member BC) are evenly spaced every 4 feet along the 12-foot width of the barrier. The weight of barrier ABD is 200 lbs. Assume the weight of the struts are negligible. The specific weight of water is 62.4 lb/ft³. Determine the magnitude of the force in each strut and state whether the strut is in tension or compression. 5 ft D
