Question
**Understanding Normal Forces on an Aircraft**

**Concept Review:**
Before solving this problem, you may find it useful to review **Concept Simulation 9.2** and **Conceptual Example 7** for background material.

**Problem Statement:**
Consider a jet transport at rest on the runway with a weight of \(2.10 \times 10^6 \, \text{N}\). The aircraft's rear wheels are located 17.0 meters behind the front wheel, and the center of gravity is 12.0 meters behind the front wheel. Your task is to determine the normal force exerted by the ground on:

(a) The front wheel

(b) Each of the two rear wheels

**Diagram Explanation:**
In the diagram, a side view of the aircraft is displayed. The aircraft is positioned horizontally with three sets of wheels: one at the front (labeled as \(F_f\)) and two at the rear (labeled collectively as \(F_r\)). The arrows pointing upwards from the ground towards the wheels represent the normal forces acting on each wheel.

**Calculation Spaces:**
- For part (a), there's a designated input box to enter the value of the normal force on the front wheel.
- For part (b), there is another space to enter the normal force on each of the rear wheels.

_Units of measurement should be specified alongside the determined numerical values._
