Solution:

The free body diagram of the beam is shown below:

Here, Ax is the horizontal reaction force at support A, Ay is the vertical reaction


By
at support A and is the vertical reaction at support B.

The equilibrium equation in the horizontal direction is:

   Fx  0
Ax  0

Take the moment of all the forces about point A:

M A 0
 10 lbs 15 ft    By 10 ft   0
By  15 lb

The equilibrium equation in the vertical direction is:

  Fy  0
Ay  By  10 lb = 0
Ay  5 lb
(a)
