### Pulley Assembly Reaction Components

**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram depicts an assembly with two pulleys. A load \( P \) is applied vertically downward at point \( A \). The system includes three rigid links: \( AB \), \( BD \), and \( CE \); each link is connected at points \( B \), \( D \), and \( E \) through pivots. The distance between \( A \) to \( B \), and \( B \) to \( D \), is 2 meters each. The vertical distance from \( D \) to \( E \) is 1.5 meters.

**Task:**
Given that each pulley has a radius of 250 mm and the load \( P \) is 6.8 kN, calculate the components of the reactions at points \( D \) and \( E \).

**Components of the Reactions:**

- **At \( D \):**
  - \( D_x = \) [Blank] kN →
  - \( D_y = \) [Blank] kN ↑

- **At \( E \):**
  - \( E_x = \) [Blank] kN ←
  - \( E_y = \) [Blank] kN ↓

### Calculation Approach

To determine the reaction components, consider the static equilibrium of the system, and apply the relevant equations:

1. Sum of forces in the horizontal direction (\(\Sigma F_x = 0\))
2. Sum of forces in the vertical direction (\(\Sigma F_y = 0\))
3. Sum of moments about any point (\(\Sigma M = 0\))

These principles will help determine the unknown reactions at \( D \) and \( E \). Use the given dimensions and force to set up the equations, and solve them systematically.
