A 15,000 N crane pivots around a friction-free axle at its base and is supported by a cable making a 25∘ angle with the crane (Figure 1). The crane is 16 m long and is not uniform, its center of gravity being 7.0 m from the axle as measured along the crane. The cable is attached 3.0 m from the upper end of the crane. 1. When the crane is raised to 55∘ above the horizontal holding an 11,000 N pallet of bricks by a 2.2 m very light cord, find the tension in the cable. 2. Find the horizontal component of the force that the axle exerts on the crane

Question

A 15,000 N crane pivots around a friction-free axle at its base and is supported by a cable making a 25∘ angle with the crane (Figure 1). The crane is 16 m long and is not uniform, its center of gravity being 7.0 m from the axle as measured along the crane. The cable is attached 3.0 m from the upper end of the crane.

1. When the crane is raised to 55∘ above the horizontal holding an 11,000 N pallet of bricks by a 2.2 m very light cord, find the tension in the cable.

2. Find the horizontal component of the force that the axle exerts on the crane.
