The answer is right because the support at B is showing resistance in x and why direction.

If you resolve the normal at B into Nsin45 and Ncos45 then 2t horizontal force is taken by Nsin45 component and horizontal at A will become zero.

I think the correct answer is 2t because 2t load is applied on the object at the right direction so balancing load will be applied at A in the left direction.

How is it possible? A should resist some of the horizontal load. It should be 1t.

Yes, horizontal reaction is zero, you can check it by taking moment at B.

Hamza cheema said:   5 years ago
It should be 2t.

Vertical reaction : 3t.

Here, it is asked about the horizontal reaction : 0.
