Let the vertical reaction at c be R c at a be R a and at b be R b .
Summation of moments at b equals zero. We have
8 R c + 4 R a + 4 ( 4 ) = 6 ( 2 ) + 2 ( 4 ) ( 2 ) + 2 ( 4 ) ( 6 )
8 R c + 4 R a = 6 0
R a = 1 5 − 2 R c ( 1 )
Summation of moments at a equal zero. We have
4 R c + 4 ( 4 ) + 6 ( 2 ) + 2 ( 4 ) ( 2 ) = 4 R b + 2 ( 4 ) ( 2 )
4 R c + 1 6 + 1 2 = 4 R b
R b = R c + 7 ( 2 )
Summation of forces vertical. We have
R a + R b + R c = 6 + 2 ( 4 ) + 2 ( 4 )
R a + R b + R c = 2 2 ( 3 )
Substituting ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) in ( 3 ) , we have
1 5 − 2 R c + R c + 7 + R c = 2 2
0 = 0
