Calculate the force exerted on the handle of a wheelbarrow

[flin8812]

Homework Statement

The total weight of a wheel barrow filled with gravel=240N
Wheelbarrow held on an 18 degree incline
Other dimensions are given as in the figure provided.

Homework Equations

Assuming that the wheelbarrow is at static equilibrium,

The Attempt at a Solution

my attempt of part(a) was to have the total moment=0
where F represents the uplifting force

Mc=(\overline{CB})(F)-(rxFy)(ryFx)

= \sqrt{1.01^2+0.8^2}(0.2*240cos15)+(0.58*240sin18)

=0
but I don't know what to do next...

Try to calculate:
\sum x=0
\sum y=0
\sum M=0
I sketched some forces on your picture. I would calculate moment around C.
