How to determine shear/load on a cantilevered shelf

[chopnhack]

Hello all, I am trying to determine load and shear that will be placed on a rack and its components. Can you help me formulate the equation so I can determine if the components will be suitable?

Thanks!

You can't directly edit but if you really want your post edited. Red flag it and indicate how you want it edited.

Good to know, thank you. My original thoughts and expanded info are on MS One Note, but people maybe reluctant to download a file and understandably so. I have redone it, not as nice as one note though, into a webpage. Please check it out and let me know if I am in the right forum for this type of question. Thanks in advance!

Do you work with any structural engineers? Ask them. It is simple statics.

I don't, but statics... that's a good starting point, thanks.
