SteamKing, thank you for you reply. I should have said that I would love to know how to calculate these things, not the exact numeric results. How to, meaning the equations. Or an explanation how to calculate the resulting force, I can look the equations up from wikipedia. First I...

Pondering this a little further, does the moment of force need to be calculated relative to the contact points? I was under the impression that its calculated relative to mass center, but that seems to give me really counter intuitive results
