A platform is attached to a pole by two bolts, as shown. A force $\mathrm{F}$ of magnitude $400\mathrm{N}$ is applied at an angle of $?=30^{?}$ at point $A$ on the platform. The height $h$ of the platform is $2\mathrm{m}$ and the length from the center of the pole to the end of the platform $\mathrm{m}$ is $1\mathrm{m}$. The bolts are located at a distance $\mathrm{d}$ from the centerline equal to $.1\mathrm{m}$. The point $\mathrm{D}$ is located at height $\mathrm{k}$ above the ground equal to $.3\mathrm{m}$. a) Replace the force $\mathrm{F}$ by an equivalent force-couple system acting at point $\mathrm{D}$. b) Redistribute this force and couple by replacing it with two forces acting in the same direction as F, one at each bolt (points B and C). Determine the magnitude of these forces supported by the two bolts.
