    The loads are as follows:

    P1 = 90 kN P2 = 240 kN

     
    The dimensions are:

    H = 8 m S = 4 kN

     
    Calculate the following:
     
    1.   The horizontal reaction at A.
    A.   0 C.   330 kN
    B.   285 kN D.   436 kN

    2.   The total reaction at B.

    A.   0 C.   330 kN
    B.   285 kN D.   436 kN

    3.   The vertical reaction at C.

    A.   0 C.   330 kN
    B.   285 kN D.   436 kN

    AV = BV = 90 + 240
    AV = BV = 330 kN

    ΣMC = 0
    2S AH + 2S(90) + S(240) = 3S(330)
    AH = 285 kN   ←   Answer for Part (1)
     
    ΣFV = 0 already, hence
    CV = 0 (not shown in the figure)   ←   Answer for Part (3)
     
    Note:
    ΣFH = 0
    CH = AH = 285 kN
     
    From the FBD of the whole system

    ΣFH = 0
    BH = AH
    BH = 285 kN

    RB = √‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾
    285 2
    + 330‾2
    RB = 436 kN   ←   Answer for Part (2)
