To solve the problem of finding the magnitude of the forces exerted by the hinges on the door of the almirah, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Setup The door is 6 ft high, 1.5 ft wide, and weighs 8 kg. The weight of the door acts downwards at its center of mass, which is at the midpoint of the door. The door is supported by two hinges located 1 ft from each end. ### Step 2: Convert Weight to Newtons The weight of the door in Newtons can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Weight} = \text{mass} \times g \] ...
