A 2.00 meter long horizontal plank whose mass is 3.00 kg is placed so that the very end (the right end) rests on a retaining wall. The left end is put on the tailgate of the truck. However the tailgate is tilted a bit, so it only contacts the board at a point 25.0 cm from the end. A 2.50 kg sledge hammer is placed 0.500 meters from the retaining wall.
Find the force acting on the board by the tailgate.
