Question
**Problem Statement:**

What is the reaction force at 'A' along the y-axis?

(Note: Enter your numeric answer only. No need to enter units. Give your answer to two decimal places and use a negative sign for downward direction.)

\[ A_y = \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \, \text{N} \]

**Diagram Explanation:**

The image depicts a triangular truss structure ABC, resting horizontally with points A, B, C forming the base, and point D at the top of the triangle.

- **Distances:**
  - Distance between points A and D, and between points D and C, are both 4 meters horizontally.
  - Vertical height from D to base BC is 4 meters.
  
- **Force:**
  - A horizontal force of 450 N is applied at point D towards the left.
  
- **Supports:**
  - Point A is a roller support, allowing horizontal movement.
  - Point C is a pinned support, preventing vertical and horizontal movement.
