A homogeneous triangular plate of weight W has wheels at B and C. The wheels are of negligible weight and are confined to move along a horizontal slot. If a force P is applied at point A, calculate the (a) the plate's acceleration, the (b) normal force at B, and the (c) normal force at C. (h = 2ft, x = 1ft, P = 3 lIb, W = 5 lb)
