Chapter 4, Problem 4/137(choose chapter or problem)
The nose-wheel assembly is raised by the application of a torque M to link BC through the shaft at B. If the arm and wheel AO have a combined weight of 100 lb with center of gravity at G, find
the value of M necessary to lift the wheel when D is directly under B, at which position angle \(\theta\) is \(30^{\circ}\).

QUESTION:
The nose-wheel assembly is raised by the application of a torque M to link BC through the shaft at B. If the arm and wheel AO have a combined weight of 100 lb with center of gravity at G, find
the value of M necessary to lift the wheel when D is directly under B, at which position angle \(\theta\) is \(30^{\circ}\).
ANSWER:
Let OA = x, then we can calculate the torque from the formula T = F*R*sin(?)
