What is the force exerted by each hinge on the door?

[QUOTE="TSny, post: 5604812, member: 229090"] It appears that you are assuming that the only forces that exert torques about your chosen pivot point are the forces R1 and R2. Would the weight force exert a torque about this pivot point? I agree with Tom that placing the pivot point at one of the hinges is a good choice. Keep in mind that ΣF = 0 applies to both the horizontal components and to the vertical components of the forces. That is, you have two equations ΣF[SUB]x[/SUB] = 0 and ΣF[SUB]y[/SUB] = 0. [/QUOTE]
