The maximum magnitude of F for which the door will remain at rest is about 265 N

<h3>Further explanation</h3>
<em>Let's recall </em><em>Moment of Force</em><em> as follows:</em>

<em>where:</em>
<em>τ = moment of force ( Nm )</em>
<em>F = magnitude of force ( N )</em>
<em>d = perpendicular distance between force and pivot ( m )</em>
Let us now tackle the problem !
<u>Given:</u>
weight of the door = w = 145 N
direction of the force = θ = 20°
distance between hinge and the applied force = d = 2.50 m
length of the door = L = 3.13 m
<u>Asked:</u>
magnitude of the force = F = ?
<u>Solution:</u>
<em>If the door is in equilibrium position , then :</em>
