Determine the force in members GF, GD, and CD of the truss. State if the members are in tension or compression. Take that P₁ = 12 kN , P₂ = 24 kN and P₃ = 16 kN.

Determine the force in members CD of the truss, and state if the member is in tension or compression. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. Assume positive scalars for members in tension and negative scalars for members in compression
