Question
**Question 3:** For the given truss, calculate the reactions at each support.

- \( F = 500 \)
- \( x = 3 \)
- \( y = 10 \)

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram shows a truss with points labeled A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H. The truss is supported at point E by a pinned support and at point F by a roller support. The truss is subjected to a force \( F \) acting downward at point D.

- **Members:** The truss consists of several triangular sections, forming a complex structure.
- **Support at E:** This is a pinned support, typically allowing rotation but not translation in any direction.
- **Support at F:** This is a roller support, allowing horizontal movement but not vertical movement.
- **Dimensions:**
  - The horizontal distance between vertical lines through points E, F, G, H is marked as \( x = 3 \) units.
  - The vertical height from the baseline to points A and D is marked as \( y = 10 \) units.

The task is to calculate the reactions at the supports due to the force \( F = 500 \), using principles of static equilibrium.
