The image shows a mechanical system involving a rigid beam, forces, and a couple moment. To compute the forces acting on the system, we need to analyze the equilibrium conditions, which can be summarized using the following three key principles of statics:

1. **Sum of Forces in the x-direction** (horizontal) must be zero: \(\Sigma F_x = 0\)
2. **Sum of Forces in the y-direction** (vertical) must be zero: \(\Sigma F_y = 0\)
3. **Sum of Moments about any point must be zero**: \(\Sigma M = 0\)

### Step-by-step analysis:

- The beam is subjected to a **390 N force** at an angle of **60°**.
- There is an **800 N·m moment** acting on the system in a clockwise direction.
- The beam rests on a roller support at point A and is fixed at point B. 
- The beam is 12 m in total length (8 m from A to the corner, 4 m from the corner to B).
- There is a **sloped surface** at point A with an angle of **30°**, which will impact the direction of the reaction forces at A.

### Steps to solve for forces:

1. **Decompose the 390 N force** into horizontal and vertical components:
   - Horizontal component: \( F_{x1} = 390 \cos(60^\circ) \)
   - Vertical component: \( F_{y1} = 390 \sin(60^\circ) \)

2. **Set up reaction forces** at points A and B:
   - At A, the reaction force \(R_A\) can be decomposed into two components: \(R_{Ax}\) along the incline and \(R_{Ay}\) perpendicular to the incline.
   - At B, since it is a fixed support, there will be both horizontal and vertical reaction forces \(R_{Bx}\) and \(R_{By}\), as well as a moment \(M_B\).

3. **Moment equilibrium about point B** (\(\Sigma M_B = 0\)):
   - Taking moments about point B will eliminate the unknown reactions at B, allowing us to solve for \(R_A\).
   - Consider the moment created by the force at the end and the given 800 N·m couple moment.

4. **Solve for \(R_A\)** and the forces at B using force equilibrium equations.

Let me proceed to calculate the forces now.The moment at point B due to the combined effect of the **390 N** force and the **800 N·m** couple moment is approximately **2151 N·m** (clockwise).

Next steps involve using this moment and the force equilibrium conditions to solve for the reaction forces at points A and B.

Would you like to proceed with further detailed calculations, or do you have any questions so far?

### Further Questions to Explore:
1. How do we find the reaction forces at point A given the sloped surface?
2. What is the impact of the 30° slope at point A on the equilibrium?
3. How do we decompose the reaction forces into horizontal and vertical components?
4. What are the horizontal and vertical force equilibrium equations for this system?
5. How does the total beam length affect the overall moment calculation?

#### Tip:
When dealing with inclined planes, always decompose forces into components parallel and perpendicular to the incline for accurate equilibrium analysis.

Solve a statics problem involving a rigid beam subjected to a 390 N force at 60°, an 800 N·m moment, and reactions at supports A and B. The problem includes force decomposition, moment equilibrium, and reaction force calculations with a sloped surface at point A.
