I'm glad SteamKing seems to understand it because I still don't. If A is a roller, how is it going to supply the downward force necessary to oppose the applied moment? I see no mention of mass or gravity.hdp12 said:
I note that the bases of the supports are drawn differently, but not according to any diagrammatic convention I know.

It's possible the support at A was drawn slightly differently to permit the x-axis to be drawn on the diagram w/o interference.
To me, it looked like both supports were pinned connections with no indication of any rollers present.
