**Title: Analysis of Reactions in a Loaded Assembly**

**Objective:**
Determine the components of the reactions at points A and E under two conditions: 
(a) A 760-N load is applied at point C. 
(b) The load moves along its line of action and is applied at point D.

**Solution:** 

1. **Free Body Analysis: Entire Assembly**
   - The analysis is applicable for both scenarios since the load's position on its line of action does not matter.

   - **Free Body Diagram (FBD):**
     - Total forces/reactions acting on the entire assembly: \[ \underline{\text{Input Number}} \]
     - Equilibrium equations:
       - \( \sum F_x = 0: \) \[ \underline{\text{Input Value}} \]
       - \( \sum M_A = 0: \) \( E_y = \) \[ \underline{\text{Input Value}} \] N
       - \( \sum F_y = 0: \) \( A_y = \) \[ \underline{\text{Input Value}} \] N

2. **Case (a): Load at Point C**
   - **Selected Free Body: Member BE**
     - Number of forces acting on member BE: \[ \underline{\text{Input Number}} \]
     - Force direction on E should align along EB:
       \[
       \frac{E_x}{E_y} = \underline{\text{Input Ratio}}
       \]
     - Calculations:
       - \( E_x = \) \[ \underline{\text{Input Value}} \] N
       - Hence \( A_x = \) \[ \underline{\text{Input Value}} \] N

3. **Case (b): Load at Point D**
   - **Selected Free Body: Member AC**
     - Number of forces acting on member AC: \[ \underline{\text{Input Number}} \]

**Diagram Explanation:**
- The diagram illustrates a bar assembly with pinned joints at points A, B, C, D, and E. 
- Distances:
  - \( AB = 300 \, \text{mm} \)
  - \( BC = 600 \, \text{mm} \)
  - \( CD = 200 \, \text{mm} \)
  - \( DE = 300 \, \text{mm

**Solution:**

1. **Free body: Entire assembly.** 
   - This analysis is valid for both a) and b), since the position of the load on its line of action is immaterial.
   - **FBD: In total, there are [   ] forces/reactions (number of forces) acting on the entire assembly.**
   - \(\sum \vec{F}_x = 0\): [   ] N;
   - \(\sum \vec{M}_A = 0\): \(E_y =\) [   ] N;
   - \(\sum \vec{F}_y = 0\): \(A_y =\) [   ] N;

2. **If the load is acting on C, we choose the free body: member BE**
   - Member BE has [   ] forces acting on it. (number of forces)
   - Thus the force acting on E should be directed along EB, hence \(\frac{E_x}{E_y} = \) [   ].
   - \(E_x =\) [   ] N;
   - Hence \(A_x =\) [   ] N;

3. **If the load is acting on D, we choose the free body: member AC**
   - Member AC has [   ] forces acting on it. (number of forces)
   - Thus the force acting on A should be directed along [   ], hence \(\frac{A_x}{A_y} = \) [   ];
   - \(A_x = \) [   ] N;
   - Hence \(E_x = \) [   ] N;
