Equilibrium of a Rigid Body 11

Due to an unequal distribution of fuel in the wing tanks, the centers of gravity for the airplane fuselage A and wings B and C are located as shown. If these components have wings WA = 45 000 lb, WB = 8000 lb, and WC = 6000 lb, determine the normal reactions of the wheels D,E, and F on the ground.
