While digging a small hole prior to planting a tree, a homeowner encounters rocks. If he exerts a horizontal 216-N force on the prybar as shown, what is the horizontal force exerted on rock C? Note that a small ledge on rock C supports a vertical force reaction there. Neglect friction at B. Complete solutions (a) including and (b) excluding the weight of the 17-kg prybar.
