This diagram illustrates a beam with multiple forces acting on it, labeled as Figure P2-68. 

**Description:**

- The beam is supported at point A with a fixed support and at point E with a pin support.
  
- **Distances along the beam:**
  - The distance from A to B is 2 feet.
  - The distance from B to C is 2 feet.
  - The distance from C to D is 2 feet.
  - The distance from D to E is 2 feet.

- **External Forces and Moments:**
  - At point B, there's a rightward horizontal force of 10 kips.
  - At point C, there's a 5 kips force acting at a 60° angle above the horizontal.
  - At point D, there's a clockwise moment of 20 kip-feet.
  - At point E, there's an upward vertical force (indicated by an arrow) with no specified magnitude in the diagram.

This setup presents a classic problem for analyzing beam reactions and understanding the principles of equilibrium in statics. The system examines how different forces interact on a beam and the resulting reactions at the supports.
