### Structural Analysis Diagram

**Description:**

The diagram represents a structural analysis problem involving a frame subjected to various supports and a horizontal load.

**Structural Elements:**

- **Supports and Fixings:**
  - **Pin at B and D:** These points allow rotation but prevent translation in any direction.
  - **Fixed at A:** This point is fully restrained, preventing translation and rotation.
  - **Pinned at F:** Similar to the pins at B and D, this point allows rotation but no translation.

- **Load and Dimensions:**
  - A **horizontal load** of **60 kips** (k) is applied at point C.
  - The vertical member BC is **16 feet** in length.
  - The horizontal member CD is **10 feet** in length.
  - The horizontal member DE is **12 feet** in length.
  - The vertical member EF does not have its length specified but is structurally relevant to the problem.

**Objective:**

The task is to solve for the forces at the supports A and F given the applied load and the constraints provided by the pins and fixed support.

This analysis involves applying principles of equilibrium and mechanics of materials to determine the reactions at the fixed and pinned supports.
