Knowing that the forces P and Q are equivalent to a single force R that passes through point A, determine P and R.

For the same problem given in Part A, if the support at B creates a reaction force Bx and By as shown, determine these reaction forces. Assume B is located at 3 m from the origin O along the z-axis Z X By 3 m O 6 m 3.5 m Bx G 3.5 m A 2 m Y
