Question

A beam is fixed at one end and is vertically supported at the other end. what is the degree of statical indeterminacy?

Answer 1

The framework you have depicted is a propped cantilever. The level of static indeterminacy is one since you have an additional obscure that can be unraveled by 3 balance conditions.

The propped cantilever is settled toward one side and essentially bolstered on other.

You need to solve for 3 responses at the settled end and a vertical response at the flip side. Add up to 4 unknowns.
