Expert Solution
Calculate reactions at A and B

for equilibrium sum of all the forces in y direction will be zero

RA+RB-1.335-842-516=0RA+RB=1359.335 N

Moment shoul be zero in stable structure,

Taking moment about A

-RB×5+516×5+842×2.5=0RB=937 N

Substituting value of RB in above equation

RA+937=1359.335 NRA=422.335 N
