F1 – F4 fasteners
F load on the support
RL resulting load
(tensile and shear load)
L1 support lever length
x support basis
(=distance of fasteners)
✓ Parameter is known; ? Parameter is the table output
It is recommended to position the support lever
half way between the fasteners to ease installation
