Torque About a Chosen Pivot Point
A rigid, horizontal door of width is supported by three hinges at distances , , and from its left edge. A downward vertical force is applied at the right edge, and the door remains in static equilibrium. The torque from the applied force, calculated about the middle hinge, is non-zero. The torque from the middle hinge’s own reaction force, calculated about the same point, is what fraction of this applied torque?
