Chapter 5 Problem 5-31

Question

The mobile crane has a weight of 120 000 lb and center of gravity at G1; the boom has a weight of 30 000 lb and center of gravity at G2. Determine the smallest angle of tilt u of the boom, without causing the crane to overturn if the suspended load is W = 40 000 lb. Neglect the thickness of the tracks at A and B .

Solution

Step 1 of 7)

The first step in solving 5 problem number 31 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The mobile crane has a weight of 120 000 lb and center of gravity at G1; the boom has a weight of 30 000 lb and center of gravity at G2. Determine the smallest angle of tilt u of the boom, without causing the crane to overturn if the suspended load is W = 40 000 lb. Neglect the thickness of the tracks at A and B .
From the textbook chapter Equilibrium of a Rigid Body you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
