I made some additional reading at stumbled upon the principle of virtual work and came to a conclusion that there sum of the work done by the pivot is zero since both forces have the same magnitude but opposite in sign. Thanks for the help.

For M and F, i already know how to solve that. If I'm not wrong M=(F+(Warm/2)) / tan alpha Say L= 0.5 m i need to calculate the stress acting upon the pivot and the moving points C and A. C and A is bolted to a slot, where when the mechanical actuator or hydraulic cylinder acts upon C, the...

Homework Statement I need help in calculating the forces that act upon the arms of a scissors lift. Attached is the force diagramm and some calculations i made earlier. The calculation was made based on each arm It would be nice if any of you could have a look and check whether the...
