Homework Statement
Calculate the member forces in the statically indeterminate truss. Member AF and BE is not connected at the intersecting point. The cross sectional area is the same for all the members.

Homework Equations
I first calculate member AF using the unit load method. When I know AF I have an statically determinate truss and I then use the joint method and the equations of equilibrium to find the other member forces.
The Attempt at a Solution
I calculated the following member forces. Does this look correct?
AF = 44 kN
CF = 125 kN
BC = -75 kN
FB = -135.2 kN
FE = 48.6 kN
EB = -81 kN
EA = 64.8 kN
AB = -26.4 kN
