in the previous part, there are calculations for vertical components not horizontalkuruman said:
yes i did it...kuruman said:

Moving a block farther away from a hinge generally increases the horizontal force on the hinge due to the increased torque created by the block's weight acting at a greater distance. Torque is the product of the force and the perpendicular distance from the pivot point (hinge), so a greater distance results in a larger torque that must be balanced by a greater horizontal force at the hinge.
The relationship between the distance of the block from the hinge and the horizontal force on the hinge is directly proportional. As the distance increases, the horizontal force required to maintain equilibrium also increases. This is because the torque (moment of force) increases with distance, necessitating a greater horizontal force to counteract this torque.
Yes, the weight of the block significantly affects how the horizontal force on the hinge changes with distance. A heavier block will produce a greater torque for the same distance compared to a lighter block, resulting in a larger horizontal force on the hinge as the block is moved farther away.
Yes, the horizontal force on the hinge can be minimized by positioning the block closer to the hinge. By reducing the distance, the torque generated by the block's weight is decreased, which in turn reduces the horizontal force required at the hinge to maintain equilibrium.
The angle of the applied force plays a crucial role in determining the horizontal force on the hinge. If the force is applied horizontally, it directly contributes to the horizontal force on the hinge. If the force is applied at an angle, only the horizontal component of that force will affect the hinge. The vertical component will influence the vertical force on the hinge but not the horizontal force.
