Question: A door 2.30 m high an 1.30 m wide has a mass of 13.0kg. A hinge 0.40m from the top and another hinge 0.40 m

A door 2.30 m high an 1.30 m wide has a mass of 13.0kg. A hinge 0.40m from the top and another hinge 0.40 m from the bottom each support half the door€™s weight (Fig. 9-59). Assume that the center of gravity is at the geometrical center of the door, and determine the horizontal and vertical force components exerted by each hinge on the door.
