Well I've been trying since yesterday and I'm pretty frustrated by now. I've searched everywhere for at least one example on how to solve this kind of problem and found nothing. I'm probably not the brightest kid and i seem to be unable to figure it all out just by myself..

Could someone PLEASE explain this solution step by step? I have this very same problem (except both n and m are equal to 1) and i can't find any examples how to solve this kind of problems anywhere..

That is exactly what i was thinking, but the book says otherwise.. Well actually it says "find reaction force having in mind that point O car rotate when it's not balanced". And i assume that by "reaction force" it means normal force.

2. Homework Equations : N=mg; M=Fl 3. The Attempt at a Solution : i find that the normal force of the rope AD is 8.5N. Hello. Sorry that in my first post I'm already asking for help, but I'm getting really desperate with this problem. I need to find the Normal force at the point O and direction...
