#### Problem Statement:
Determine the horizontal and vertical components of reaction at the pin A and the reaction of the rocker B on the beam.

#### Diagram Explanation:

A truss structure is depicted with several key elements and forces labeled:
- The truss spans over a distance, divided into sections of 2 meters each.
- There are vertical loads applied at three points on the truss:
  - 5 kN at the top left vertex.
  - 6 kN at the bottom middle vertex.
  - 8 kN at the top right vertex.
- The height of the truss from the bottom to the topmost point is 2 meters.
- Points A and B denote the supports:
  - Point A is a pin support located at the bottom left of the truss.
  - Point B is a rocker support positioned at the bottom right of the truss. 

Given these conditions, it is required to determine:
- The horizontal (Ax) and vertical (Ay) components of the reaction at pin A.
- The reaction at the rocker B (By).

This involves using principles of static equilibrium to create and solve the equations necessary for finding these reaction components.
