**Truss Analysis Using the Method of Joints**

The truss is loaded as shown in the accompanying diagram. The structure includes a horizontal beam spanning 8 meters, supported at points A, B, C, D, and E. The total height from the bottom support to the top beam is 3 meters.

### Diagram Explanation:
- **Truss Layout:**
  - The truss is composed of five joints: A, B, C, D, and E.
  - Members connect the joints in a triangular configuration, providing support and distributing loads.
- **External Forces:**
  - Two 44 kN loads are applied vertically downward at points A and C.

### Truss Analysis Using Method of Joints:
- **Objective:**
  To find all member forces and reactions in kilonewtons. Assumptions are that the +x-axis is to the right, and the +y-axis is up.

### Member Forces:
1. **\( F_{AB} \)**
   - Magnitude: [Input Field] kN
   - Sense: [Dropdown Menu] "The magnitude is zero."

2. **\( F_{AE} \)**
   - Magnitude: [Input Field] kN
   - Sense: [Dropdown Menu] "compression"

3. **\( F_{BC} \)**
   - Magnitude: [Input Field] kN
   - Sense: [Dropdown Menu] "compression"

4. **\( F_{BD} \)**
   - Magnitude: [Input Field] kN
   - Sense: [Dropdown Menu] "tension"

5. **\( F_{BE} \)**
   - Magnitude: [Input Field] kN
   - Sense: [Dropdown Menu] "compression"

6. **\( F_{CD} \)**
   - Magnitude: [Input Field] kN
   - Sense: [Dropdown Menu] "The magnitude is zero."

7. **\( F_{DE} \)**
   - Magnitude: [Input Field] kN
   - Sense: [Dropdown Menu] "The magnitude is zero."

### Reactions at Supports:
- **\( C_{x} \)**
  - Magnitude: [Input Field] kN
  - Direction: [Dropdown Menu] "←"

- **\( E_{x} \)**
  - Magnitude: [Input Field] k
