Dear Sir,
I would like to ask your help or any hint in the procedure i have to follow to calculate the truss member forces.
Consider all distances as given, and also all forces that are externally applied as given.
The two supports are unknown (2 hinges).
 
What is this- homework?

 
A hint?
The structure you show is not statically determinate!

You need to use the virtual work method, or other indeterminate solving algorithm adapted for trusses.

See section 4

Other info that may help you

--Einstein gave the same test to students every year. When asked why he would do something like that, "Because the answers had changed."
