Equilibrium: A 20.0-kg uniform door has a width of 1.20 m and a height of 2.50 m. The door is mounted on a post by a pair of hinges, marked 1 and 2 in the figure, at the top and bottom of the door. An external force of 60.0 N, at an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal, is applied to the small doorknob, as shown in the figure. The doorknob is 1.00 m above the bottom of the door.
(a) Find the x component of the force that hinge 1 exerts on the door at the top.
(b) Find the SUM of the y components of the forces that hinges 1 and 2 together exert on the door.
