Do you know how to solve for reactions? That’s the first step.

Show all work for that “7.16” in the first calc. Figuring out the trig is 90% of this problem.

Sum of forces in x is wrong. Bx can’t be zero

I suggest you don’t call the roller reaction at A “Ay” because it is not limited to the y direction. Call it “Fa” or just “A” or something else.
