Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of forces in the x direction:

∑Fx = ma

Rx − 250 N = 0

Rx = 250 N

Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑Fy = ma

Ry − 120 N − 300 N = 0

Ry = 420 N

Sum of forces in the z direction:

∑Fz = ma

Rz − 50 N = 0

Rz = 50 N

Sum of moments about the x axis:

∑τx = Iα

Mx + (-50 N)(0.2 m) + (-120 N)(0.1 m) = 0

Mx = 22 Nm

Sum of moments about the y axis:

∑τy = Iα

My = 0 Nm

Sum of moments about the z axis:

∑τz = Iα

Mz + (250 N)(0.2 m) + (-120 N)(0.16 m) = 0

Mz = -30.8 Nm
