Given information:

Apply the sign conventions for calculating reactions, forces and moments using the three equations of equilibrium as shown below.
- For summation of forces along x-direction is equal to zero (∑Fx=0), consider the forces acting towards right side as positive (→+) and the forces acting towards left side as negative (←−).
- For summation of forces along y-direction is equal to zero (∑Fy=0), consider the upward force as positive (↑+) and the downward force as negative (↓−).
- For summation of moment about a point is equal to zero (∑Mat a point=0), consider the clockwise moment as positive when moment taken from left and the counter clockwise moment as positive when moment taken from right.
- Consider the positive sign indicates the clockwise moment the negative sign indicates the counterclockwise moment.
