SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the reactions at a pin support (A) and a roller support (B) on an inclined beam subjected to a vertical load. The calculated reactions are Ax = 192 N, Ay = 180 N, and By = 642 N. Key equations utilized include the equilibrium equations for forces and moments, specifically addressing the vertical and horizontal forces at the supports. The beam's inclination angle is 22 degrees, which affects the vertical force resolution of the applied load.
