the origin of moments at the point q, we have Right-handed torques. Left-handed torques. F(b - x) = bfiH + aH (iii) in which a is the depth of the drawer front to back, and b is itswidth. All three unknown forces F, G and H may be eliminated fromthese equations and the value of x determined in… … Fig. 22. forces may satisfy the first condition of equilibrium and notsatisfy the second condition. Such a combination of forces con-stitutes a pure torque and the total torque action is the sameabout any point whatever. For example, the two equal andopposite forces which are exerted on the handle…
