Response:
 
figure 1------parabola
figure 2------triangle
we know that Mass m=ρtA
ρ=mass density
t=thickness
A=Area of the plane
 
For parabola
 
considering the vertical strip
dA=ydx
dA=√2x dx
intigrating from 0 to 2
A==2.67
A1=2.67m^2
we know that
A
A
x1=3.2/A=  3.2/2.67 =1.198m
simillarly y1=0.75m
 
For triangle
x2=1.33m
y2= -0.67m
A2=2 m^2
m1=ρtA1
m2=ρtA2
centroid for the composit figure
Xc= (m1*x1+m2*x2)/(m1+m2)
Xc=(A1*x1+A2*x2)/(A1+A2)        (since ρt term cancles in the numerator and denominator)
Xc=1.25m
simillarly
Yc=0.14m
Reactions at A and B
taking momenta about A
Rb*2√2=W*1.25
Rb*2√2=(m1+m2)g*1.25
Rb*2√2=ρt(A1+A2)g*1.25
Rb*2√2=7850*0.3(2.67+2)*9.81*1.25
Rb=47687.81N
using ΣFx=0 and ΣFy=0 u can get Rx and Ry
if u still find any difficulty please specify
