Im confused I see how you solved for Fbc by excluding the final part and grouping it together at the end. However, The reason IM confused is because if you consider the final part with just Ax, Ay, And Fbc. Fbc has to be zero otherwise it would create a moment about a. Unless the bucket has a weight but I think that should be included in the diagram and cant be assumed!
