    Calculating Forces on a 2D Rigid Body Held by Two Points

    Your interpretation of my diagram is correct. As the array curves backwards, the connectors will become less vertically aligned. Until now, I've been ignoring torque. I'll incorporating torque into my calculations and I'll see where that gets me. Thanks for the help.

    Calculating Forces on a 2D Rigid Body Held by Two Points

    I'm getting a bit confused, so I'm going to back up a bit to my actual problem. I have a speaker array (as shown) that is hanging from two chains and I'm trying to find the forces on the pins labelled A, B, C, D http://rabien.com/image/array.png Am I correct in thinking there won't be...

    Calculating Forces on a 2D Rigid Body Held by Two Points

    This isn't homework, it's for a simple computer program I'm trying to write. It's been a long time since I took a physics class, but I seem to remember getting homework questions like this. http://www.imagechicken.com/uploads/1244655138002459200.png If I have a 2D rigid body, I know its...
