W = 32.2 ftls'2 * (m kg * 6.825E-2 slug/kg) Sum moments about pivot to give W*L = FR*d

< R2 - R,:
FR = y*(h/2)*h*b
For h

d = R2 - (h/3)

For h > R2 - R,:

FR = y*(h - (R2 - R, )/2)*(R2 - R,)*b
d = R2 - (R2 - R, )/2 + (y, - Ye)

I" = b*( R2 - R,)'3/12 = 0.000771 ft'4

Yr -Yc = I xc/hc*A

he = h - (R2 - R, )/2
