Static Equilibrium Door question: Calculate Horizontal Forces

[jamesbiomed]

You are a good student who actually does the work. Its no problem helping people like this. I took a look at the problem that I helped you with before and it was actually more difficult.

My bad... props to you for working hard.

Thanks, I'm taking it over the summer so its taking me longer to absorb some things--that's why I come here!

It's simple. Take moments about bottom hinge, using distances perpendicular to the forces. Moment of inertia not required for this problem in simple statics.
