For equilibrium, first, the net
force must be zero. Taking components along the y-axis,
we therefore need n - F1 - F2 - F3
= 0. And, second, the net torque about any pivot must be zero!
Taking torques about the actual pivot P, for equilibrium we
would have to have, with the direction into the screen taken
as positive, F1d1 + F2d2
- F3d3 = 0.
