nvm, i figured it out thanks a lot i kinda have a new problem i can't figure out where zero forces in trusses come into play, i mean how do i know which forces are zero force members or not?

While solving for problems involving trusses using method of joints, how do i know which member is in compression and which is in tension? any help would be appreciated, this stuff's been bugging me for quite some time thanks and god bless
