rješenje:
Find the magnitude of force F2 :
Force points to upward, signed negative and force points to downward, signed negative.
ΣF = 0
- FR + F1 + F2 - F3 = 0
– 40 + 10 + F2 - 20 = 0
– 30 + F2 - 20 = 0
– 50 + F2 = 0
F2 = 50 Newtona.
Plus sign indicates that the direction of the force is upward.
Find x.
Choose A as the axis of rotation.
τ1 =F1 l1 = (10 N)(1 m) = 10 Nm
The torque 1 rotates beam counterclockwise so we assign positive sign to the torque 3.
τ2 =F2 x = (50)(x) = 50x Nm
The torque 1 rotates beam counterclockwise so we assign positive sign to the torque 3.
τ3 =F3 x = (20 N)(1.75 m) = -35 Nm
The torque 2 rotates beam clockwise so we assign negative sign to the torque 2.

10 + 50x – 35 = 0
50x - 25 = 0
50x = 25
