Question: While using a pencil sharpener, a student applies the forces and couple shown. ( a ) Determine the forces exerted at B and C knowing

While using a pencil sharpener, a student applies the forces and couple shown.
(a) Determine the forces exerted at B and C knowing that these forces and the couple are equivalent to a force-couple system at A consisting of the force R=(3.6lbs)i+Ryj-(6.2lbs)k and the couple MAR=Mxi+(3.5lbs-ft)j-(6.0lbs-ft)k.
(b) Find the corresponding values of Ry and Mx.
B=lbsi
Cx=lbsi
Cy=lbsj
Cz=lbsk
Ry=lbsj
Mx=lbs-fti
