Calculating Normal Forces on a Wooden Stick Supported by Two Chairs

[diredragon]

Homework Statement

An $D$ meter long wooden stick with a mass of $M$ is placed on two chairs of neglegible lenght. The left is $L$ meters from the left end and the right is $X$ meters from the right end. Find the expression for the both Normal forces that act from the chairs.

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

I am guessing i should begin by noting that the lever that acts on the right, mainly the gravitational force times x is adding to the normal and the left is lowering it right?

Your attempt doesn't make sense, was there a diagram?

Anyway, this is a static equilibrium problem, so draw a complete free body diagram and then apply the equations of static equilibrium.
