Question

The beam shown in the attached image is connected to a pin at A and rests on a roller at B. Neglecting the weight of the beam, draw a free-body diagram of the beam.

The roller is under the very end of the right side of the beam. Sorry for the cut off image. it is the center image.

Explanation / Answer

So, I'll assume you know how to draw the FBD and just need to know what forces are involved. You can obviously see the applied forces, not sure if your prof wants to show the X/Y components of the angled force so I'll leave that to you. For reaction forces the pin will have a -X & +Y, the roller will have only +Y (no X support for a roller) Hope that helps.
