By lamis theorem W/sin60 = BC/sin90 so BC equals to +2W/√3 (tensile).
Or
By resolving BC vertically and applying the equilibrium equation in the vertical direction we get
BCsin60 - W = 0.
BC= +2W/√3 (tensile).

BCsin60 - W = 0.
BC= +2W/√3 (tensile).

It is very easy to divide the section into half shift the load w (you can shift the load) to the right side and make a right angle triangle where perpendicular CE I assume make (w) and base as EB = cos60 and hypotenuse is BC= sin60 - w and for equilibrium, BC = sin60 - w =0 BC= +w/ (root3/2) = 2/w root3 assign is +ve so it is tensile.

It's in compression, according to methods of joints.

See here When you resolve force at point B,
then you get,
IF we get the force at away from B.
x=BC cos60=0.
y=BC sin60-w=0.
BC=2*W/3.
HERE YOU GET YOUR ANSWER TENSILE.

BC is compressive right but CB is?
