Wow. Thank you for all the help. Your insights and answers have really helped me not just with solving it, but actually be more confident in my analysis and conclusions of mathematical problems. It is good to see confirmation from someone as knowledgeable as yourself. Thank you for the links and...

I find your reply fascinating especially towards the end. In hind sight I would say they are called basic laws because they are just that, 'basic'. Atleast that is my belief. For how this system is solved, I think you might be right about using FEA as a tool to solve it. Having asked a more...

I had a feeling it was like that. But then would that mean it's solution can only be computed based on approximate solution and not through the basic rules of classical mechanics?

Hello. Thanks for the reply. I did indeed try to do both of those things and the forces were as I mentioned in the forces can only be solved in terms of each other

I see..though I am still not clear what you mean.. thank you for your time and help so far..in case I take sometime to respond to you later, then pls know it is night time here so I may have fallen asleep..

Indeed..I figured that too..I included that in my solution as well.. eqn 1 and eqn 2 you can see the moments. Although I do see the Mx eqn is missing the Py× hp moment indeed...thanks for pointing that out.. Although, I do not believe that will help solve for the forces in X axis and Y xis I think

Yes there is.. i forgot to add it to the diagram, but I mentioned it in the note, the force P is applied at a certain distance hp above the plate

Yes, the 3 supports are holding it from below indeed

Hello, I am new here and would love to help and get helped in this wonderful community. I am a bit rusty on my general knowledge of physics. So I hope being amongst people that are enthusiastic about physics (both learning and teaching it) will remind me as well as increase my knowledge in...
