Hi
The first thing to say about this is that I don’t have a clue where to start.
What I’m looking for is somewhere (maybe a website or just a brief introduction) I can study – and learn – about the forces involved and the maths required.
_______
Say I have an item/length/beam/weight/etc (C in the graphic) that can rotate about a point (B in the graphic) which is supported on an unmovable base (A in the graphic).
C can be heaver, taller, have more mass, etc, etc (it can change) although it’s rotation point never changes
What I’m looking for is a way to work out how the properties of C will affect the force required to rotate it around point B.
This is not a homework question (I left school over 40 years ago), it’s just for my own personal interest and education.
Thank you
Here is the graphic (on Microsoft Onedrive). I have put this link as well in case you can't see it.
