### Structural Beam Diagram

The diagram represents a structural beam subjected to different forces and constraints:

1. **Beam Description**:
   - The beam is horizontal and segmented into parts labeled A, B, C, and D.

2. **Forces**:
   - At point A, there is a downward force labeled "10k" (presumably representing 10,000 units of force).
   - At point C, there is another downward force labeled "20k" (presumably 20,000 units).

3. **Supports**:
   - Point B has a roller-type support, allowing for vertical movement but not horizontal (denoted by a small circle on a hatched surface).
   - Point D is supported by a pin, restricting both vertical and horizontal movement, indicated by a triangle on a hatched surface.

4. **Distances**:
   - The section of the beam from A to B is 5 feet.
   - Another 5 feet from B to C.
   - From C to D is also 5 feet.

This diagram serves as a fundamental representation useful for understanding concepts in physics and engineering, particularly in static equilibrium analysis.
