The upper hinge A of the uniform cabinet door has malfunctioned causing the entire weight W of the 12-lb door to be carried by the lower hinge B. Determine the couple associated with these two forces. You may neglect the slight offset from the edge of the cabinet door to the hinge centerline. The couple is positive if counterclockwise, negative if clockwise. W W 22" 33" Answer: M = i Ib-in.
