### Analysis of Truss System

#### Description:
The truss shown consists of three sections, each 3.6 meters wide and 3 meters tall, subjected to the loads as illustrated in the diagram.

#### Objective:
Determine the reactions at the pin (A) and the roller (D).

#### Diagram Breakdown:
1. **Geometry:**
   - Points: A, B, C, D, E, and F.
   - Horizontal sections (each 2 meters wide).
   - Vertical sections (each 3 meters tall).

2. **Forces:**
   - At B: 2 kN downwards.
   - At C: 3 kN downwards and 2 kN to the right.

#### Calculations:
##### Reactions at D:
- **Use equilibrium equations:**
  \[ \Sigma M_A = 0 \]
  This equation states that the sum of the moments around point A is zero, which helps in determining the vector components of point D.

- **Components of Reaction at D:**
  - \( D_x \) -- Horizontal reaction component.
  - \( D_y \) -- Vertical reaction component.

##### Table for Components:

| Reaction  | Direction |
|-----------|-----------|
| \( D_x \) | →  (right) |
| \( D_y \) | ↓ (down)  |

This formulation forms the basis to solve for the reactions at supports A and D.  

Make sure to refer to the fundamental statics equations to progress with solving:

1. \( \sum F_x = 0 \)
2. \( \sum F_y = 0 \)
3. \( \sum M_A = 0 \)

These equilibrium equations will help in determining the unknown reaction forces at the pin and roller supports.

## Reactions at A

Use \(\sum F_x = 0\) and \(\sum F_y = 0\) to find the vector components of the reaction at A.

\[
A_x = \text{\underline{\hspace{2cm}}} \quad \text{\underline{\hspace{2cm}}}
\]

\[
A_y = \text{\underline{\hspace{2cm}}} \quad \text{\underline{\hspace{2cm}}}
\]

In this problem, you'll need to solve for the unknown reaction forces at point A by setting up and solving the equilibrium equations for forces in the x and y directions. The first set of input boxes is for \( A_x \), the reaction force in the x-direction, and the second set of input boxes is for \( A_y \), the reaction force in the y-direction. Enter the magnitudes in the first input boxes and select the direction (positive or negative) from the dropdown menus.
