actually i needed downward position of the bottom relative to lateral position of the top.but i thinking about it now i cant do it like this anyway. if i needed to know the lateral force at the top to get a certain downward force that would only give me an answer in that situation.[Edited on February 27, 2010 at 10:57 PM.
