Find the zero force members in a truss: example #1

This engineering statics tutorial goes over an example of how to find the zero force members in a truss with a certain loading. I missed two ZFMs in this video on the right hand side of the truss. They are the ones where my cursor is at 4:17. By the end of the video, you can see that I should have identified them as ZFMs because otherwise they would throw off the equilibrium at the joint that is on the bottom of the truss about 1/3 of the way from the right hand side. Sorry about that, and thanks to those who pointed it out!!!
