Step 1: Identify the forces and reactions. The structure is a vertical beam supported at two points: Point A: A pin support, which provides horizontal (R_Ax) and vertical (R_Ay) reaction forces. Point B: A roller support, which provides only a vertical reaction force (R_B). External forces acting on the beam: 1. A force of 10 \, kN acting at 45^ from the vertical, applied at the top of the beam. Horizontal component (F_1x): 10 (45^) acting to the left. Vertical component (F_1y): $10 \
