Homework Statement
Problem is this. I am tasked with deriving a formula or equations that I can then input into an excel format. I am to take an equipment base that has four sides with supports at each of the four corners. I am to find the load that each one will hold base upon the Center of Gravity of the equipment upon the base plate. You will be given the Mass, the length and width of the equipment, the location of center of gravity on the base plate. Also not worried about the weight of the base plate just about the mass with respect to the center of gravity. The only unknown is the Load that each support will hold. What he wants is to be able to type in the knowns and find each supports load weight individually. I have tried for a couple of days to figure this out but I just can't seem to figure it out. It supposed to be simple but I just don't know. Any help would be welcomed.

The Attempt at a Solution
I have tried using the Ideas behind Noncoplanar Parallel Force Systems but I think because the points line up those ideas and examples have not been of great help, only confuse me further.
