Solution:

The free body diagram of the beam is shown below:

A
Here, Ax is the horizontal reaction force at the support A, y is the vertical
reaction force at support A, Q is the equivalent concentrated load to the
By
uniformly distributed load and is the vertical reaction force at roller support
B.

The equilibrium equation in the horizontal direction is:

   Fx  0
Ax  0

Take the moment of all the force about point A:
