    Need help determine force from cylinder linkage

    How can I determine the downward force of the rod with the given cylinder pressure and mechanical linkage? Do I sum my moments about the pivot? I calculated M=950xCOS(75.732)x7.81 + (X)SIN(63.414)x9.4 which resulted in 1828lbs. I get 217 lbs which does not seem right.

    How is emf constant of flux linkage is increasing?

    how is this true? I get that it's the rate of change of flux, and if you have a graph of flux linkage against time, the gradient with a constant gradient then emf is constant since it IS the gradient... But how? If the flux linkage is increasing, why doesn't the emf?
