The trailer has a mass of 400kg and the mass center at G. is being pulled by a horizontal force of magnitude of F = 800N. Determine the acceleration of the trailer, as well as the normal forces (Na and Nb) on the pair of wheels at A and B respectively. Assume the wheels are free to roll and have negligible mass.
