The front view of a Zenith CH 750 Cruzer airplane named "Mapanikwa" is shown in the figure below. The wing AE is supported by the lift strut BC and is connected to the fuselage by a lug attachment at point A that may be idealized as a pin. The lift strut is a two-force member in equilibrium and is also pin-connected at points B and C. The vertical distance from the pin at A to the pin at C is 1.2 meters. A 1,500 lb upward force caused by the lift generated by the wing is acting at point D. If point B is equidistant from the pin at A and the wing tip E, and if the distance X is equal to 0.5 meters, determine the force supported by the pin at A.
