A skateboarder is grinding a horizontal steel rail at a skatepark. His feet are distributed evenly and his weight can be modeled as two point forces a distance L/3 from either side of the skateboard, where L is the length of the skateboard. The skateboard is perpendicular to the rail. Find the force supported by the skateboard.
