The device in Figure 2 can support a load \( F \) at various heights by re-setting the pawl \( P \) in a tooth of the fixed ratchet at the desired height. Neglect weight of the device compared to \( F \).(a) Find the reactions at \( A, B \) and \( C \) for \( F=\)2000 N,\( d=100\mathrm{~mm}\).(b) Find the distance \( d \) of the load \( F \) so that the rollers at \( A \) and \( B \) support optimum forces. Find the supporting forces for \( F=2000\) N.
