A rigid, horizontal door of width ww is supported by three hinges at distances w/4w/4, w/2w/2, and 3w/43w/4 from its left edge. A downward vertical force FF 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?

A
