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?

A and B ...
 
The force have the same distance to a and b
 
Ups i may have forgotten to add the picture
