Shelving Pull Out Force Question

[Andrew Gore]

Hi Guys,

I have been trying to figure out how to work out a pull out force load for a shelving issue I have. I have put together a rough sketch of what I have:

I have 2 uprights sitting on the floor via adjustable feet and fixed to the wall at 1200mm and 2400mm. There are 5 shelves equally spaced with a 50kg weight on each shelf. The shelf protrudes 300mm from the upright.

I am trying to calculate the pullout force at f1 and and f2 on the diagram.

If anyone could help out I would appreciate this.

Thanks in advance.

Calculate the total CCW moment. Use this result to calculate the reaction forces at F1 and F2 needed to resist this CCW moment.
