Numerical Solution
We need to find the reaction force at the frictionless support. Right click on Solution (B5) > Insert > Probe > Force Reaction.
In "Details of Force Reaction", Select Boundary Condition for Location Method and Frictionless Support for Boundary Condition.
The problem is ready to be solve.
Tips
