In summary, the speaker has a problem and has simplified it to a set of diagrams. They are trying to calculate the reaction forces but are unsure how to do so. They mention torque and force equations, but do not provide any further details. The speaker also adds that the problem is symmetrical and involves finding the reaction forces of points A and B. They then apologize for forgetting to include a picture of a tank, which may be related to the problem.

I want to calculate the reaction forces but how?

Torque equation give this
2F=0
Force equations give this
2F=0

Thx for any help given ...

Can you state the problem? I don't understand what those diagrams represent. You are trying to find the reaction forces of what?
