4. The car hoist shown in Fig. 4 allows the car to be driven onto the platform, after which the rear wheels are raised. If the loading from both rear wheels is 6 kN, determine the force in the hydraulic cylinder AB. Neglect the weight of the platform itself. Component BCD is a right-angled bell crank pinned to the ramp at C. [ Ans : 15.87 kN].
