Direction of forces at E is known, i.e., 450 to horizontal (along BE). Hence, resolved vertical and horizontal components of force FE are equal i.e. F EX=FEY..

Now balancing horizontal forces:

F EX = FCX.

Taking moment about E,

1000 × 0.4 -(FCY) × 1.6=0

FCY =250N

Now balancing the vertical forces,

250 + FEY - 1000=0

FEY = 750N= FEX

Thus the forces at C and E have been calculated. Likewise, other forces can be calculated.
