thanks alot sorry didn't reply earlier went to church, thanks a lot for your help

do you think my solution is correct then

yes, ok it's downwards maybe that was my mistake

i think F1 is the reaction force but wouldnt' that be the same as the force of F1 acting downwards according to Newton's 3rd law

i don't understand what is acting clockwise and what is acting anticlockwise

its basically like a diving board a long plank and then on the left side there's 2 supports which are 0.8m apart and there is an extra 0.1m on the left side of the first one, W is the weight of the plank and is in the centre of the plank

i haveto find F1 and i think the best way is to use F2 as the pivot so you automaticaly eliminate F2, then taking clockwise and anticlockwise moments, but that is where i got confused and am not totally sure how to do that part.

do you know why?

ok I'm verry sorry I'm new so i didn't know they haveto be approved

zoom in it is visible you just have to zoom in it shows my attempt but i don't think it is right any help i would be grateful

Homework Statement in this attachment is a moments problem could someone please help me solve it the question is a) using moments find F1 b)using any method find F2 thank you
