Question
**Problem Statement:**

The frame shown is supported by a pin at A and a fixed support at D. There are internal hinges/pins at B and C. Assume \( P = 5 \) kips and \( w = 1 \) kip/ft. Determine all of the external support reactions. Clearly state the true direction of each reaction.

**Diagram Explanation:**

- **Frame Description:**
  - The frame consists of three segments with internal hinges/pins located at points B and C.
  - Segment AB is horizontal and 10 feet long. It is subjected to a uniformly distributed load (w) of 1 kip/ft.
  - Segment BD extends 8 feet horizontally from B to D.
  - Segment DC is vertical, with a height of 4 feet from D to C.

- **Forces:**
  - A horizontal point load \( P = 5 \) kips is applied at point C, 2 feet above point D.
  - The uniformly distributed load on AB applies a total load of \( 10 \times 1 = 10 \) kips acting downward.

- **Support Reactions:**
  - Pin support at A which allows rotation but resists vertical and horizontal forces.
  - Fixed support at D which resists vertical, horizontal forces, and provides a moment reaction.

**Purpose:**

Determine the reactions at supports A and D considering the loads applied on the structure. These reactions include forces in the vertical and horizontal directions as well as any moment reactions. Each reaction's direction must be clearly stated.
