Required force to hold or pull inclined object downwards.

[QUOTE="haruspex, post: 6793998, member: 334404"] First, please clarify if this is a real world problem, as [USER=447632]@Baluncore[/USER] seems to assume, or an academic exercise. Second, is the lens-shaped object a spherical cap or a segment of a cylinder? Those are not the same thing. The force required to hold it in the position shown may well be less than is required at some point in rotating the lens-shaped object into that position from a more horizontal one. (Note that it cannot be completely horizontal.) Indeed, if the diagram is drawn accurately I would say the force needed to hold it steady will be one that stops it tipping further. Which is sought?
