Thanks Jürgen. It would be interesting to see how an increasing pivot length changes the tensile and compressing forces. Perhaps you could run a series of four calculations based on 2kN load at the pivot with CG ratio 60/40 (member length as in your attachment) and then make the pivot 10, 20, 30 and 40 cm long.
Here we go:
Pivot load is 200 kg. All forces are in kg. Pivot lenght is 40, 30, 20, 10 and 5 cm.
I would estimate the dynamic load is 10 times the static load.
