Question: The compound beam is pin supported at ( M ) and supported by rockers at ( E ) and (

The compound beam is pin supported at \( M \) and supported by rockers at \( E \) and \( K \). There is a hinge (pin) at \( D \). Suppose that \( X=2\mathrm{kN}/\mathrm{m}\).
Determine the reaction at E, M, and K. Separate your answers with commas.
The supports at E and K are rockers: \( E_{x}=0, K_{x}=0\). Supports at M and D are Pin and Hinge. They both have horizontal and vertical reactions.
Hint: start with Free-Body Diagram: The compound beam will be dismembered into members EMD and KD. Then apply the equations of equilbrium for each section separatley. start with the easy section.
The compound beam is pin supported at \ ( M \ )
