The uniform hatch door,having a mass of 15 kg and a mass
center at G,issupported in the horizontal plane by bearings at
Aand B.If a vertical force is applied to the door
as shown, determine the components of reaction at the
bearings and the angular acceleration of the door.The bearing
at Awill resist a component of force in the ydirection,
whereas the bearing at Bwill not. For the calculation, assume
the door to be a thin plate and neglect the size of each
bearing.The door is originally at rest.
