Given a warren truss, where the load is 2kN/m so the weight per joint is 10kN, since the ends are supported by ground not truss, can anyone please verify my way of solving for the tension and compression at point B.

Your help is greatly appreciated.
So I figured out that AB is 28.87 and with a FBD for joint B I ended up with the two equations:
net Fy = 0 and net Fx = 0
so, ABy=BCsin60 = 25
and ABx + BCcos60 = -BD = -28.87
Is this right?
