Problem on Reaction forces at the point of contact of two cylinders in trough/ Engineering Mechanics

Two cylinders placed in trough are in contact with each other and to the surface of trough.
In this video, Reactions at contact surfaces are calculated. Free body diagram is drawn.


Problem: Cylinder 1 of diameter 200 mm and cylinder 2 of diameter 300 mm is placed in a trough. If cylinder 1 weighs 800N and cylinder 2 weighs 1200 N, determine reactions developed at the contact surfaces A,B,C,& D. Assume all contact surfaces are smooth.
