Question

The floor crane and the driver have a total weight of 2500 lb with a center of gravity at G . If the crane is required to lift the 500-lb drum, determine the normal reaction on both the wheels at A and both the wheels at B when the boom is in the position shown.

Solution



The normal reaction on the wheels at A is 1000 lb and the normal reaction on the wheels at B is 1500 lb.

To calculate the normal reaction at A, we need to use the concept of equilibrium.
