The Attempt at a Solution


I drew a FBD and assigned x and y components at A. There is a normal force at B and F and M are known. I took this to mean that there are 3 unknowns in the problem, which should be able to be solved by my understanding.
I don't uderstand why its statically inderterminate. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
