A tricycle weighing 200 N has a small wheel symmetrically placed 500 mm in front of two large wheels which are placed 400 mm apart. If centre of gravity of the cycle be at a horizontal distance of 150 mm from the rear wheels and that of the rider, whose weight is 150 N, be 100 mm from the rear wheels, find the thrust on the ground under the different wheels.
