Answer:
There are five (5) unknown support reactions in this problem.
Step-by-step explanation:
A roller joint rotates and translates along the surface on which the roller rests. The resulting reaction force is always a single force that is perpendicular to, and away from, the surface. This allows the roller to move in a single plane along the surface where it rests.
A cable support provides support in one direction, parallel, and in opposite direction to the load on it. There exists a single reaction from the cable pointed upwards.
A ball-and-socket joint have reaction forces in all 3 cardinal directions. This allows it to move in the x-y-z plane.
The total unknown reactions on the member are five in number.
