From the sum of forces in the y direction

The four equations from moments and the sum of force in y are RCx = 0.5 RAz RAy = RCy RCy = 0.5 RAz 50 N RAy = 1.2 RCx + 240 N Substitute [1] into [4] RAy = 1.2 ( 0.5 RAz ) + 240 N = 0.6 RAz + 240 N Use this equation and equation 3 into equation 2 RCy = 0.5 RAz 50 N RAy = 0.6 RAz + 240 N RAy = RCy 0.6 RAz + 240 N = ( 0.5 RAz 50 N ) 0.1RAz = 190 N RAz = 1900 N RCy = 0.5 ( 1900 N ) 50 N = 900 N RAy = RCy = 900 N RCx = 0.5 ( 1900 N ) = 950 N Look at the sum of forces to find the reactions at B

RBx = RCx 200 N = ( 950 N ) 200 N = 0 = RAz + 100 N + RBz = 1800 N

RBz = RAz 100 N = ( 1900 N ) 100 N
