additional assumption

but then there will be 9 unknowns ( Fx ,F//OA, Fperpendicular to OA, couple in OA axis for each of the thrust collar and W) with 3 scalar equation and 1 vector equation = 4 eq so i think i will have to make further assumptions like there are no support reaction on the upper thrust collar and now...

Yeah It's a homework problem. I'm not sure what the problem means when it says 400 NM but from my understanding i think it is in OA axis with assumption that the system is properly aligned. The structure weight is negligible.

so i was wondering what assumptions needed to make this solvable and ' support at both thrust collars can totally support the moments of 400 Nm before they slip' means which axis of moment

could not understand why it is partial constraints. Also, I don't understand how link works. Below here is what I am thinking i think it is totally wrong can someone explain what's wrong with my idea here.
