### Truss Analysis Problem

#### Diagram Description

The image depicts a truss structure with the following components and forces applied:

- **Joints and Members**:
  - The truss consists of joints labeled A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and I.
  - The members connect these joints in a triangular framework.

- **Dimensions**:
  - The horizontal span between joint A and joint B is 16 feet.
  - Vertical sections between joints (A to C, C to E, E to G, and G to I) each measure 12 feet.

- **External Forces**:
  - A force of 4 kips is applied horizontally to the right at joints I, H, F, and D.

#### Task

- Determine the forces in the following members using any method of choice:
  - Member AC
  - Member EA
  - Member FD
  - Member GF

#### Force Calculation Table

| Member | Force |
|--------|-------|
| AC     |       |
| EA     |       |
| FD     |       |
| GF     |       |

Fill in the table with calculated forces for each specified member. Use methods such as the method of joints or the method of sections to find these forces.
