W=(4 \mathrm{ft})(2 \mathrm{ft})\left(2 \mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{ft}^2\right)=16  \mathrm{lb}

 

\Sigma F_x=0 ; \quad A_x=0

 

\Sigma F_y=0 ; \quad A_y=0

 

\Sigma F_z=0 ; \quad A_z+B_z+C_z-16=0

 

\Sigma M_x=0 ; \quad 2 B_z-16(1)+C_z(1)=0

 

\Sigma M_y=0 ; \quad-B_z(2)+16(2)-C_z(4)=0

Solving Eqs. (1)—(3):

A_z=B_z=C_z=5.33  \mathrm{lb}
