Let the vertical reaction at c c be R c R_c at a a be R a R_a and at b b be R b R_b .

Summation of moments at b b equals zero. We have

8 R c + 4 R a + 4 ( 4 ) = 6 ( 2 ) + 2 ( 4 ) ( 2 ) + 2 ( 4 ) ( 6 ) 8R_c+4R_a+4(4)=6(2)+2(4)(2)+2(4)(6)

8 R c + 4 R a = 60 8R_c+4R_a=60

R a = 15 2 R c R_a=15-2R_c ( 1 ) \color{#D61F06}(1)

Summation of moments at a a equal zero. We have

4 R c + 4 ( 4 ) + 6 ( 2 ) + 2 ( 4 ) ( 2 ) = 4 R b + 2 ( 4 ) ( 2 ) 4R_c+4(4)+6(2)+2(4)(2)=4R_b+2(4)(2)

4 R c + 16 + 12 = 4 R b 4R_c+16+12=4R_b

R b = R c + 7 R_b=R_c+7 ( 2 ) \color{#D61F06}(2)

Summation of forces vertical. We have

R a + R b + R c = 6 + 2 ( 4 ) + 2 ( 4 ) R_a+R_b+R_c=6+2(4)+2(4)

R a + R b + R c = 22 R_a+R_b+R_c=22 ( 3 ) \color{#D61F06}(3)

Substituting ( 1 ) \color{#D61F06}(1) and ( 2 ) \color{#D61F06}(2) in ( 3 ) \color{#D61F06}(3) , we have

15 2 R c + R c + 7 + R c = 22 15-2R_c+R_c+7+R_c=22

0 = 0 0=0
