The attached image shows a diagram of the problem. I am trying to calculate the Compressive force in the piston (B). Would the methods shown work for finding the Comp Force? Thanks

The 15 foot boards mass is uniformly distributed with 10 feet of the board to the left and 5 feet to the right of the pivot point. The box being on the right distance x.

I have a problem with a board laid across 3 roller pins each spaced out x feet. Past point C is another X feet with a box of W Weight. I need to the distance the box needs to be from point C for the board to tip/rotate. I was thinking of calculating the moment across the entire length of...
