If this acceleration is zero, i.e., if the whole system is moving with constant velocity (with respect to an inertial reference frame), then Newton's 2nd law says that the net (horizontal) force on pin A must be
zero, i.e., that F1 + F2 = 0, so F1 and F2 are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
