In the side view of a 42-lb flat-screen television resting on an 92-lb cabinet, the respective centers of gravity are labeled G₂ and G₁. Assume symmetry into the screen and calculate the normal reaction force at each of the four casters. Note that there are two casters that each have the force NA and two casters that each have the force Ng. A Answers: NA = i NB = i 16" G₁ 12". G₂ B 3" lb lb
